Should have stocked up when you could, with the [bleep] going on in the US, buy when you can

At most places I checked on the WWW. Don’t know what you are looking for but Powder Valley has Accurate, IMR, Hodgdon, Norma, Goex and Shooters World in stock. I have definitely seen it worse but i got plenty stocked.

I was on their sight yesterday... they are pretty well stocked with a lot of available types of powder..
only ones they were out of, were the usual favorites from all the shooting rags....
on the other hand, I've noticed a lot of availability of H 4350, all over the place
and that is one that has been hard to find over the last couple of years....
powder Valley is also stocking Shooters World powder... which I know little or nothing about...just have heard the name...

I'm having a hell of a time finding AR comp though.. I've been shooting my AR10 308w with different powders in the cupboard to see how it does, so I can conserve my 223 powder and bullets.. Lastnight I was shooting 4064 and pulled wwII 150gr bullets through my AR10, and my SKS with steel cased ammo  . It worked out well, but I still wished I had about 20 pounds of AR comp right now...
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

About 8 weeks ago, I bought 24 pounds of AR Comp from Powder Valley....
I took one keg of it, and gave the other two kegs to a disabled Marine Buddy..
he paid me for it....
If ya need it that bad, I'd keep checking in with Powder Valley's site...

A small local gun shop and Guns Unlimited in Omaha, the two places I rely on for reloading supplies, have had plenty of powder and still at reasonably low prices. I even snagged 2000 small rifle primers from the local shop a couple weeks ago.

But, if you are willing to try something new there is propellent out there. Been using a few new brands of powder and getting pretty good results, to the extent that I'm laying in a supply. Also figured I should experiment more and load up my least favorites sitting in my inventory for specific rifles and enjoy shooting.

Been pretty lucky of late. Scored H4350, H4831SC, TAC, and 6.5 StaBall. I'm set.
What fresh Hell is this?

I grabbed 4# of Varget the other day, code on the bottle was 1072820. The shop had six 1# bottles too but they only allowed one container of powder per purchase so I grabbed the larger one. I've been able to pick up some TAC, BL-C(2), and H4350 over the last few weeks too.
Now, i have to decide what loads to work on.

AA 2015.... it and AR Comp turns out to work REAL well in the 6.5 Grendal that I am playing with ( Bolt action Ruger)

I have been watching almost daily for a few months and agree with the OP's heading. It's going going going... What good are all these primers without powder? Dohhh, I will need more bullets. What about brass? Buy buy buy.
Also, been scouring past threads on this or that powder, bullet, primer, cartridge, some of it with zero personal experience. Very appreciative to so many good folks around here for sharing over the years even though it's a heck of a lot easier not to!

Might give Leverevolution a chance in the Grendel.
We tested a lot of powders and it and H-335 were the best with 100-120 grain bullets.

The action is not real smooth in this Ruger, but those two powders are definitely turning in tight groups.. other powders not so much...I tend to do what the rifle barrel dictates what it likes...
