    I picked up a pound of AA No5 at Reloading Zone, but paid way too much at $38. Saw it for only $28 at Sportsman's. If Dad's isn't as over priced as Reloading Zone, I'll go there as they are way closer. I see them all the time but have never been in there.

    Does it ever show up online at sportsmans warehouse? Or just need to stop by the store regularly to catch it there?

    My backorder was many many months old before they changed the policy.

    I also have backorders at Black Hills as well.

    Little gun store down here called Bam Bam Firearms had quite a bit of powder. I bought 4 pounds of Auto Comp and 2 of H335 about a month ago. Give them a call and see what they have in stock. 719-406-1038

    Was able to get 1 pound of accurate 5. From what I read, it's a very good powder, meters well, and is pretty clean burning. I'll be loading up my first few rounds tonight.

    I love hp38 for 115 grain 9mm and title group for 147 9mm, and I'm always chasing the zero recoil with title group.

    HP38 is on my list, haven't seen any of it so far, but will definitely grab it up if I ever see it.

    Just about out of my 1 pound of AA5, liked it a lot, metered very well, and shot very clean for me. I didn't bench rest it, but I did shoot my handload rounds better than factory ammo. I think I loaded them a little lighter than factory, which I guess would help that. It's kind of cool seeing factory ammo for "decent" prices online, and thinking "no, I can handload for half that price".

    I'm almost out of my pound of WSF, I use it for 9mm low recoil, steel smacking rounds. I've still got about 200 Extreme Bullets 147gr RN plated to go, so looking for some more WSF. I've got a LOT of 700X, (16lbs or so). I use it for shotshells, actually, but see that can be used for some handgun loads.
    I'm in Ft. Collins, but am driving around the Front Range all week long. Any takers?

    July 8th, stopped by Sportsman's in Loveland, Cheyenne, and RMSS today, almost no powder at all. 50BMG, must be great to be looking for that, it's everywhere!!! (Also, stopped by Sportsman's in Thornton late last week, no powder to speak of there either.)

    Saw a butt-load of .22lr at Sportsman's in Cheyenne. Limited quantities per purchase, but 500 round boxes. Blazer .22lr 500rnd boxes, 28.99 or so for stuff I just paid 16.00 per box last week with a special supplier, so didn't get any. Appparently Tuesday is the day for .22 there. Don't know what the powder day is. It might be the same. The big-box stores have a "day", the smaller gunshops get stuff whenever it comes in.
    Still looking for some replacement for the WSF I'm almost out of, but I just put up 500rnds of it, and have enough for the 100 or so bullets I have still, so not an emergency. BUT, y'all know how "plenty" becomes an emergency these days.
    I still have some 700X or W231 to trade for WSF in Ft. Collins.
