Scout Master 54For what it's worth. Nearly all shotgun powders are impossible to find at present. We have learned to make do with what ever we can find at this time rather than the brand we like.
1. The Hodgdon brand of clays powders have been unavailable for about 2 yrs now due to a fire in their suppliers plant in Australia.
2. Most Win Shotgun powders have been hard to find. Good Luck
3. PB has been discontinued, Hodgdon announced it earlier this year. There is "some" on the shelves but you may have to pay up for it when you find it. It was always one of the most expensive powders anyway.
The outlook for supply to improve in the near term isn't good; you just have to continually check all your local vendors as when a shipment arrives it does not last long. Be flexible and evaluate all the other powders that maybe utilized.

ShikaribabuThank You. Finally managed to get my hands on a decent quantity of PB at a reasonable price in North Carolina! Guess what my vacation plan this summer is going to be as they do not deliver...

Scout Master 54Try Shyda's in Harrisburg, PA they have had powder supply on and off and it would save you some miles.
