Picked up a rationed pound at a local emporium. Owner said all the 6.5 Creed shooters are causing temporary shortage because it works so well.
I'll just score a bit here and there and add it to the 8#er. Hate to change up at this stage.

I guess I got lucky. Loaded up on H4350 back when the first big hoarding spree took hold. Bout all I load with it is the 180 grain 30/06. Fantastic velocity and itty bitty groups. Never figured it would end up on the chopping block. Just bought it for a middle of the road powder,and IMR 4350 was already in short supply. Ill never understand why things move in these circles. I'm thinking the manufacturers can groom sales of their latest and greatest propellants by creating shortages of staple powders. I'm 55 and if all I do is check zero and hunt big game,I'm good till the end I figure.

I have quite a bit of 4350, but I just picked up a new 6.5 creed F-class rifle and was hoping to run through quite a bit of H4350 this summer. I am torn if I should shoot up my last 8 pounds of H4350 while hopeing for more or buy an 8er or two of IMR 4451 for the Creedmoor.

Same boat here but only have 2 lbs but picked up a 6.5 Creed today. Thinking of using H414 possibly or Reloader 17/15 if I can't find anymore 4350?

Maybe try Ramshot Big Game for your 6.5 Creedmoor. I just bought a couple pounds which I'm hoping will work as well as H4350 did in my 30/06.

Hunter is a better choice than Big Game, IMO, which is not to say that Big Game won't work well.

I bought 4 pounders here locally over the last two week. LGS said patience and perseverance is your friend. Fyi, I am paying $30.
Saves me from converting to the IMR#'d stuff.

Dad's wholesale in Denver had 1 pounders of H4350 at the Tanner Gun Show in Denver last weekend. I did not see 8 pounders nor did I check his price.

NOT That's funny. I'd hang on to that chit with a death grip. WTF are they not making this chit. I sure as fu ck haven't seen any on the shelves for years (4 years at least)!!!!!!

Where is all the H4350?
My 30.06 will put 3 165gr Accubonds into one ragged hole at 2,875 fps with it.
I had 2 lbs on backorder at cabelas. They cancelled my order without letting me know. But now they show it as not available to order, period. Nobody else has it either(locally or online that I can find). Seems like pretty much every other powder made(ever Ramshot!)can be found somewhere.
Is it all going to the military or what?
Leftybolt That's what I'm wondering.
