Thanks for that! I'm actually doing most of my hunting with a rossi 44 mag carbine lever gun lately--but I still practice with my 41 mag.

LOL--very well put.

It seems the powder manufacturers favor the midwest and west. I wonder why that is?

Just found 800x on Midsouth's website--not my favorite powder but it will keep at least keep me shooting. Whew! : )

Whenever I log onto sportsman's website--they never show smokeless as a purchase option--how did you find that?

Hah hah--I'm more towards the 60 end--but maybe if she was 30 AND there was powder nearby--hmmm, might even extend the range a bit.

I'm actually getting set for a long road trip of 300 miles each way to stock up--finally found a place that is willing to sell me some but I have to come and get it. We got 10 inches of snow last night and another blizzard is going to hit starting tomorrow with another 1 to 2 feet expected. I...

I live in Maine and there is nothing available here and I haven't found anyone out of state willing to ship--my guess is--and I understand it--is that they want to keep the locals happy. Further complicating matters is the fact that I just bought a Glock 20 in 10 mm which uses powders only...

As far as I can tell, there basically is no powder available anywhere for purchase and shipping--the only option seems to be if you are lucky enough that your local store/range has it. If anyone has info to the contrary I'd sure like to know!

I have a 6.5 284 Norma that I bought years ago--and I also bought a couple hundred lapua and hornady cases back then for reloading--it's always been one of the most expensive cases I reload for. I guess it's market demand--specifically lack thereof, that drives prices up.

Unfortunately the shooter's world is no different from any other business--plenty of people out there willing to buy-out supply and then sell at a profit when supply dries up. There's good money in reselling each keg with the hazmat fee attached to each one. LOL

I have to admit that I found a 264 lbc/6.5 grendel load there that I'd never seen anywhere else it turned out to be the bee's knees for a build I did.

4227 I found about 100 miles away for $35 a pound--probably what I have to do.

I've found a couple of places that have limited amounts of powder appropriate for loading my magnum revolvers--but they want want 35 to 43 dollars per 1 lb keg. Since i"m very low on 110/296 I'm thinking I'm going to have to bite the bullet and just do it. Hunting season is over and there's lots...
