Retumbo will be short silly for a couple years. Better find a substitute.

According to Hodgdon they won't have any H1000 available until 'maybe' April . Retumbo would be available much later than that and gave no ETA.

I could have bought all the H4350 I wanted just 10 days ago, but put it off to buy knives instead (I'm a knife freak). Bad decision. I have plenty of everything else for what I shoot (Varget, IMR4895, H4198, IMR3031, 4064, H335, etc.) but wanted to get some 4350. Gold dust is a good description.

Hodgdon Q&A from Midsouth yesterday:

New post on Midsouth Shooters Blog Hodgdon Powders Q & A by Midsouth Shooters We hear this all the time, which we don't mind. It's difficult for us to convey info from a manufacturer, so when they come right out with a Q&A on subjects like limited inventory, we're more than happy to relay the info back to you as quickly as possible. Below, you'll find some quick answers to some supply issues from Hodgdon Powders. They're one of our favorite vendors. Straight forward folks with the customer in mind from start to finish. Why can't I find Hodgdon powders like H4350, Varget, Retumbo and H1000? As you have seen, Hodgdon powders, especially rifle powders for long-range and precision shooting, can be difficult to find. Dealer shelves that were formerly filled with cans of powder now have empty spots. Here are answers to your questions straight from Hodgdon. Q: Is Hodgdon still making powder? A: Yes, we continue shipping powder as quickly as possible. In fact, we will ship more powder in 2020 than last year. The real problem behind empty dealer shelves is complicated, but is related to shifting supply and demand challenges. As supply decreased in 2019, demand only increased. No one wants to ship more powder than Hodgdon. Q: What is causing the supply challenges? A: Quite simply, our manufacturing facilities have not kept up with our orders. Additionally, military contracts began specifying Hodgdon powders in the last few years for military ammunition, impacting our supply. With expanded government regulation, shipping explosive and energetic materials has become more challenging, which also impacts available supply. Lastly, rapidly changing consumer preferences for different powder types has impacted both demand and supply. We worked with all Hodgdon providers to resolve open issues and expect powder supply to improve in 2020 as a result. Q: Is Hodgdon still in business? A: Yes, Hodgdon has been in business (and family owned) for over 70 years. We are here for the long haul and are doing everything we can to supply our powders to handloaders. Dealer shelves are empty because powder is purchased as soon as it arrives at the dealer's stores but we will continue to ship more in 2020. Q: Is the shortage of reloading powder being caused by Hodgdon shipping their powder to the ammunition manufacturing companies? A: While Hodgdon does sell powder to ammunition manufacturing companies, more than 80% of our powder is sold to our core market - handloaders just like you. Hodgdon has always been committed to the individual handloader. Q: When will I start to see more powder on dealer shelves? A: While Hodgdon will continue to ship powder as rapidly as possible, we have a significant backlog in demand. Some powders will be in stock more quickly, but we believe it will take much of 2020 to improve availability for all powders. Q: I have seen/heard many rumors and conjecture on powder shortages with Hodgdon Powder. A: If you do not hear it directly from Hodgdon Powder Company, please be skeptical.
