Guys, it just boggles the mind. I have called every gun storyin the Baltimore, MD area, and no body carries this powder. Does anybody in the area know where a guy could find some? You can get just about anything in this area besides guns and ammo easily.
Don't know how close you are to West Virgina, but the gun picture there ia a tad brighter than the People's Republik of Maryland. A trip across the border might net a can. If you want to pay a hazmat fee, there are quite a few places from which you can mail order it.
There is a very good reloading shop in Annandale VA, just of the beltway around DC. He carries a good selection of powder and assorted reloading supplies. I can't remember the name but a yellow pages can fix that. I have used him a few times. I, like you, use to live in the DPRM (Democratic Peoples Republik of Maryland).
Try Atlantic guns in either Rockville or Silver Springs, MD. Another place to try is the Gun Shack in Mount Airy. Both of these are a bit of a hike from Baltimore, so you might want to give them a call first. As you know, prices are a bit higher in this area. There's also a good store just outside of Breezewood, PA (where 70 hits PA turnpike) called Juniata trading that has a good supply of guns / reloading equipment. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lou

I gave up on the stores and order powder online. Lately I've been getting RL powders from Natchez Shooter's Supply. There is a $17.00 HazMat fee for shipping powder or primers so usually I order a few pounds of powder and a brick or two of primers so I don't pay the HazMat fee so often. MM
bigcountry: Get ahold of the good guys at Alliant powder- they might be able to help your supply problems. 1-800-276-9337 is the number I have on the older version of their data booklet.

Thanks for the info. I will try the gun shack. Only place I didn't try. I called Alliant, and they said the only place they have listed as selling in my area is Bass Pro. I'll probably wait until next week for bass pro.
Bay Country Guns in Annapolis, MD. They have very good prices on their powder for a local shop, believe R22 is about $17. (410) 573-1848
There is a Bass Pro Shop not to far from the BWI airport. Directions and #'s are on their webpage.
One other place that I'm not sure about, but may be worth a look. Bart's which is located on Ritchie Highway not far at all from Baltimore. (just past the Best Buy on the other side of the road) Sorry, I don't have their number, but it should be easy to get a hold of for you.
Hope this helps you, C-Hawk

The store is called "The Loading Bench" on Maple Ave. in Annandale -- I don't have the # handy but that should get you there.
They are nice, helpful people and have some nice African trophies on the wall (kudu, hartebeest, buff that I remember), and sometimes a few interesting guns for sale.

I bought some RE-22 from a gun shop in Hampstead, MD a couple of months ago. It's called "Hampstead Gun & Outdoor Supply". Having said that I do go up to the Juniata Trading post every couple of months. It's a pretty good joint with a good selection. But it can get pricey.

Has anyone established the lot number of Reloder-22 that replaces the recalled powder? How do you know if you are getting the new stuff or just the last cans of the old bad lot? Its seems like 28083 was the lot number in question? But I have seen more than one production period on that and I wonder if they all are bad.
You're right! I knew something about that didn't look right. It was probably 25083. I have a weird thing about the way I remember numbers and it makes me associate 5s and 8s.
