Powder sources?

[DenverGP]

Does anyone have a powder source they'd care to share? I've been searching for pistol powder for a few weeks now, and coming up completely dry. Looks like pistol powder might be the last shortage going. I can find 22lr ammo easier than this.

He usually has product, but can be a little higher than other places.

You may get some PM offers, if you list a specific need.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out. I just called The Reloading Zone up in Wheat ridge, they just got in some large size containers (lady on the phone said either 8 or 10 pounder) of 700x. I'm new to reloading, and don't really want 8 pounds to start with. I've also seen that 700x can be a little challenging to volume measure.

I don't mind paying a little more, will still be saving money over buying ammo, and I'll finally get to put all my new reloading equipment to use.

Calling around to all the shops I can find to find pistol powder reminds me of trying to find 9mm ammo last year.

It's getting better, but ya, still a PITA.

might be easier if you tell where you've looked so it's not suggested.

So far I've checked with Green Mountain Gun, and The Reloading Zone. Also stopped by Cabellas south store yesterday. I'm guessing they get it randomly and probably doesn't last long. I'll give Dads a call monday, since it doesn't look like they are open on the weekend.

My bullets won't be delivered until Tuesday, so wouldn't be able to do anything with it until then anyway. I just get impatient, with my reloading setup sitting there ready to go.

If your looking for a lb to try I do like Dad's because they have a good selection. Once you find what you want then wait and watch at powder valley and buy in bulk. In the last 10 years powder has gone from $80 to $140 for 8lbs. Kept in a cool place it is good for a long time.

They are at shows on the weekends.

What are you loading and what back up powders have you considered?
