    It's interesting the supply of hand gun powder has all but dried up , while long gun is popping up, again. 3 stores in 2 days, WE have lots of long gun, waiting on hand gun. I'm still loading hand gun off powder i picked up 10 yrs go.

    I have yet to see any pistol powders in a store. I see it pop up occasionally online but many times it seems like you can only order 1 or 2, so the shipping/hazmat charge makes it crazy expensive.

    Will be finishing up my bottle of titegroup soon, will definitely be looking for more of it. Have 4 pounds of CFE pistol that I got online that I haven't opened yet.

    With Honest Hamid, you don't need a store.

    Add Universal Clays to your search list. It loads very close to Power Pistol and should work very well in your 9mm.

    I just scored on H-322 and Reloader 22 this morning. Picked up three pounds of each and they hand plenty more. They also had trail boss, CFE and scores of other powders. The down side is they are in Minot North Dakota.

    Haha I'm in Minot myself right now and I'm pretty sure I was in the same shop looking for Retumbo today. They had an impressive amount of powders on hand, just no retumbo......

    Oh well I have enough to do what I need to do right now and can keep looking for more of it while that rifle is off getting its new stock.

    Looks like I'm doing the powder hunt on Tuesday. I'll hit Grandpa's first. I haven't seen powder at Cabelas or SW in I don't know how long.

    Nothing too exotic:

    Not sure if they are the same thing, but Natchez is showing "Benchmark Extreme rifle powder" in stock

    Was also showing "Varget Extreme Rifle Powder" in stock about 5 min ago, seems to be gone already...
