Locally I've had better luck with the smaller mom and pop type stores. Most folks seem to clean out the larger box stores first.

Bottom line is powder is around, it just takes a bit of patience. Wish everyone could walk in to their favorite store and grab their favorite powder.

What powders are you looking for?


Not really sure since I'm just now trying to put my kit together and trying to gather knowledge of powders. Primarily for the 243. I was thinking RL 19, RL 22, RL 17, Varget H 380. Open to any suggestions. I would like to get good speed out of some 80 grn TTSX 243's.


You don't need all those powders to start out. I don't care for the RL powders and I have no use for them, so I'm happy when guys scramble around to buy it all up and leave a pound or two of 4350 or 4831 behind... either will drive your 243 and 270 for a while.


It ain't all burritos and strippers my friends...
