Hey guys, as of right now, www.3rdgss.com has powder that I haven't seen in a long time. Like RL15 and Unique
It won't last long

Incredible! I've been looking for RL15 for over a year. Order has been placed, but supply is going quickly. Many thanks for posting.

score

Glad I could help. I just checked and all of the RL 15 has been sold but there are still some of the rest of them. And they still have some 8 lb jugs of Unique

I could not believe this. When I saw your post I immediately put in my order. I don't know exactly when that was but it was late morning EST. There were 253 Pounds in stock at that time. Within 2 hours it was gone! Again, thanks for letting all of us know. I'm going to Africa in July and did not want to rebuild all of my 375 and 416 loads over with a substitute powder. But I thought it was coming to that. Sort of feels like Santa Claus just came, but I don't have it in hand yet!

You gents need to check the website every morning if you are needing powder or primers. They seem to do a pretty good job of getting inventory in. May take awhile but they eventually will have most of it.

Yes you're right. Actually this was the first time I was made aware of them, but I'll do as you say because I sure burn through some of this stuff. What I really liked was the fact that their inventory seemed to be live, i.e., if you placed an order for X, the website updated itself with what was left. I had not seen this before.

I snagged 8 lbs. of Unique and 8 lbs. of AA#9 before things got stupid.

There's a place close by (So. Cal.) that has a decent selection of medium to slow rifle powders in 8 lb. jugs for about $175. Can't decide between IMR 4350 or IMR 4831 for my 460 Weatherby.

He has primers too, all kinds, 2000 per day, per person. $30/k.

Very interesting prices. Apart from the fact that here in Germany the cans may have a maximum of 1kg. But, ~25 $ for a 1 lbs can is scary. We pay here beetween 40 and 50 Euro........

4064 seems to be in stock at different sources. No RL-15 or TAC, the flavors I prefer; anywheres. Need RL-22 also. I'd take 15 lb of each of those three varieties if I could find some; getting tough out there.

Up here in Alaska, we have to ship by boat which makes it hard unless you call Anchorage (where the dock is) home. Everybody seems to be limiting how much you can buy or they are just completely outta stock. Sportsmans in Fair & Anch is out of all powder and they limit to 2 lbs at a time. Cabelas is opening their first store up here Apr 10th, but they'll probably be empty too. I called a couple Cabelas's in Wash State and they are out too.

Couple years back I picked up 50 lb in various 1 lb cans, but have used up what I have grown to like and have a bunch don't want to use; still glad I have it though. The INdians are always out of shells when the caribou show up.

Primers, bullets, brass can be found off and on, but powder is unavailable; why powder at this time of year? I guess I'm crazy, but Me still thinks there's more to it all than consumer demand.

Much of the powder sold in the USA comes from Europe, Aust, and Canada. Hope boss man doesn't restrict those sources. That's what I'm spooked about. Hope it all changes for the better.

Zhurh
That webite still shows RL-22 in stock. they will only sell you 10 lbs at a time.
Good luck

I'm calling them in morning, I called a buddy today who lives in Anch, we live along the Yukon and our road is closed and my buddy said that he'd pick it up for me when it arrived. I saw they had around 50. Thanks for posting their site. Might submit order for wife also.

Another site that has hard to obtain powders from time to time is www.powdervalleyinc.com
Right now, they show IMR 4064 in stock if anybody is searching. Also decent pricing.

I ordered 10 lb RL-22 and another 8 lb of other powders they had. Usually, nobody has what I need, I try to get a wide variety and stock up what I really believe in.Thanks

Zhurh,
I hope they ship what you ordered. It says in the header that there is a limit of 10 lbs. Friend of mine tried to order 6 8lb jugs of Varget when they had it, they shipped 1. what you might want to try is ordering the other 8 lbs again if they still have it.

They told me I could have 2 five lb RL-22 and more of other flavors, so I got 2 lb each of 7828, 10X, RL-17, and another one I forget right now. Better than nothing.

Good, Hope it works out for you.

They sent most of the powder, they didn't have lever revolution in 2 lbers, but charged me for the rest, so it's on its way. I'm going to try to get another 10 lb of the 22 in a couple days, but they might refuse the nx order.

I have a good supply of powder, but you know, find better flavors for your guns and want to stock up. I use the RL-22 in my 30-378 and other magnums, have used up 8 lb over last five years, so 20 lb probably outlive me,ha. At least my kids will use it.

I'm looking for TAC & RL-15, would buy 15 lb of each if I could find some, only have a few lb of each on my bench. Have a back porch bench and chrono, I shoot too much at targets I guess.

I just found Barnes 165 TTSX at Natchez, too high (39) but I grabbed 4 just the same, and they had 40 left in stock. I'm also looking for 30 06 spring Lapua brass and some good 30-30 bullets; can't find anywhere.

The wifey keeps asking me when enough is enough on that bench. I tell her I'm almost there, and keep buying her cartons of smokes.

finally found some unique locally. been substituting with reddot but they are not that similar.

4064 is fairly available but havent seen 4895 online or in stores anywhere.

I never thought that I would be better off living in Australia than the US for ammo and components. Though costlier than normal US prices the chit is a dime a dozen including rimfire.
