Hodgdon is slooooooooow to process and ship, but they do generally have a fair bit of powder in stock for sale. I've purchased direct from them a couple times this year. I'm in the states, though, so not sure if they ship across the border or not.


I wish we could buy directly from Valleyfield, Quebec - the CDN propellant plant. Something is better than nothing.

That being said, II just found out a friend ran into a very large supply of powder due to a local gunsmith's passing, and his son is liquidating the powder magazine as he can't move it to his new shop. I bought "many pounds" and it will set up my shooting buddies and I for a while :>)

It's good to hear that the gunsmith who transmuted has left powder for others to enjoy. No doubt that Higginsons will receive powder in dribs and drabs. Generally, I buy from Andrew, but their cupboard is bare!


Safe Shooting!
