Finally got some H1000 from Powder Valley this morning. They had 5 1# can. I got 2 and by the time I checked out it was all gone. At least it wasn't $175.00 like at Hodgdon Powder. With all the shipping costs it end up at $61.50 per # for a total of $122.90. Still way to high. At lease I will have it on hand to test in my new rifles. Not sure just how it will work out, but never the less I want to try it. 2 more powders to go and I have everything I need for now to run up loads for those 2 rifles. Got my fun cut out for me. So this has taken me over a year now to get components for those rifles. So that one less item. I am almost out of the purchasing fazes now. Now off too working up loads to test. I have a CE AutoTrickler come too. I should be here a week of two. I generally use a powder measure and a Ohaus scale. I'll if it measure up.
I saw it but by the time I put it in my cart it said no more in stock.
I check Powder Valley 3 times per day,morning noon and night and still missed some Varget (a while back)and H1000.
Oh well the hunt goes on

I am finding it better the earlier in the morning is better. Yes I check it at lease 3x a day and on the weekends. At lease I am not after H1000, Varget, H435, and H4831. Just two go. and I don't want a large amount. I only testing loads for velocity, and grouping. So a couple of # will do that job. I don't want a bunch of powder sitting around and not being used. 8#. will get you from 500 loads up to 1400 loads. That enough to burn out your barrel and have to get it reworked.
So somebody talks about having 32# and getting more is dumb of one type of powder.

I think you and Mike are struggling more than you should be. H1000 was around for a solid month+. I paid $48 a pound with shipping/haz.
Maybe its your strategy? You guys need more sources? The days of it showing up at LGS at a decent price are not here yet.
Varget?... Holy smokes that can be bought right now at a few place $43.79 if you still need it, but act like its RL26.
300prc I have been to every sporting goods store in Helena Montana and have not seen what you are describing.
Online I shop at Powder Valley,Bruno's,Natchez,Brownell's,Graf's,Recobs,Selway Armory,and I cruise Hodgens website but don't pay those prices.
Any ideas?
I forgot reloadingunlimited.

What your top $ limit and what are you looking for? For right now the LGS are a waste of time for most places. I have 2 within a couple miles and it's not worth the time to drive in and check. I can make better use of time online.

Will due.
I have not ordered from them yet but am watching their products and they don't show products that are impossible to get and super low prices.
I'll check them out further

We have to be careful buddy.If there is even a chance it's not up to par I won't order from them either.
Thanks
