The only powder I know that I need a couple pounds of is IMR 7977. I might want some more Accurate MagPro, depending on some testing that I need to conduct, but that appears to be becoming more available. I saw it for sale at Bass Pro Shop the other day, and bought a pound........but, admittedly, it's probably all gone already.
I have some powders that I can part with, though: SR 4759 Hodgdon Pyrodex Hercules 2400 Hercules Bullseye Hercules Herco Hodgdon LeverEvolution
I'm also looking for: CCI 200 Large Rifle primers, 1 brick Swift A-Frame 338 bullets, 225 grain, qty 250 450 Marlin brass, 200 ea 338 WinMag brass, 200 ea

Are you guys still having a tough time finding powder up there?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

It's getting a tad better, but it still sucks. Some components are worse than others, and some are unavailable nationwide. Currently, the strangest items that can't b3 found are new 300 WinMag and 338 WinMag brass, and 338 Swift A-Frame bullets (225 grain) which are apparently plentiful to British hunters, but not here. The shipping-to-Alaska hazmat BS can be thwarted with a $24 forwarding fee per shipment.

Don't have powder to trade but always keep an eye out for what's available on the shelves Alaska Ammo in Fartstanks a few days ago

Just when you thought the price of powder could go no higher,it went way higher.I saw a pound of H4350 yesterday priced at $74.99 here in Texas and that was at a store that usually has reasonable prices.It's very likely to go even much higher in Alaska.Good Luck guys.

I have little that I don't have a use for here in Fairbanks. Not much:
Have 1 pound of H335, H4350 and H110. Could use some IMR4064, RL22 or IMR4831.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

As we get toward spring and I dig out all of my components, I'll post here. I know there's several pounds of H4831 and smaller quantities of several others. If the Fire Department knew what I have, they'd blacklist me.
