What is the deal again? It WAS my favorite powder and you can't even backorder it at lots of places.

Yep. It's popular because it's a very flexible powder for many common hunting chamberings and very reliable/consistent for the match/tactical crowd too.

It's funny though. It used to be one of the powders that you could count on finding just about anywhere that sold powder. It was always one that they would have.

I blame Mule Deer, who's often said good things about it, increasing demand.😜
Thank goodness I glommed onto a couple pounds of RL 26 before he made that popular.

I'm glad I picked up an 8 lb jug that's should be just enough to last me another 10+ years...

Too late. The 6.5 Creed fanboys have discovered it. It is "out of stock" everywhere it is sold on the internet.

Very popular + intermittent shipping from Australia As well as that, every handloader in Australia uses it. 2209 & 2208 are very popular here.

I have a new 8# jug of 4350. There is no possibility of using it all up before I kick off. Same with a 8 # jug of 4895. I have enough ammo loaded to last me until then end of my hunting career. Maybe I will wait until the next big shortage and sell them for $500 each.. ![grin grin](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

I've seen it off and on here locally. Kind of like AR Comp powder. I buy it when I see it...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Pappy,
Ha! Actually I've been suggesting switching to IMR4451 for more than a year now. It was also recently in short supply, which Hodgdon tells me was also due to 6.5 Creedmoor users, but is now in stock at several places. In fact I just received a recently ordered 8-pounder, even though I'd just opened another, because I'm going through 4451 like I used to go through H4350. Haven't found a cartridge/load combination yet where 4451 doesn't work as well as H4350, and in some it's worked better.

Now I need to buy some 4451.
My go-to powders would then be: TAC, Varget, H4350, RL26, and maybe 4451

In my experience that's a pretty good list--except I'd sub 4451 for H4350, with no "maybe."

I assume this is NOT grain for grain replacement?
