Back in 2013 Varget was nearly impossible to source. I was needing to do load development for a new barrel I was bringing to a shoot in Raton NM. Decided, and brought 2 different loads. One was VV N140 and the other VV N150. Both were chronographed at 2950 fps with 155g Lapua Scenars. No need to ever go back to Varget.
 
Hey guys, powder is back in stock, some of it already gone and we are working on getting more.
Just in time for range openings, at least in Ontario
 
Ordered 3.5 kg of 150 for 175 Smk and 1 Kg of N140 for the 155 ELD Hornady all for 308, got the tracking but Canpar doesn’t show any info, maybe change courier?
 
Canpar recently announced earlier this week that they were no longer shipping guns, ammunition etc. I'd guess that you're looking at a courier change.
I ordered 4kg of N570 from Tesro yesterday. Order hasn't shipped yet but I'm curious to see who they use now that Canpar is gone.

I totally agree with that statement!! I 've had great success so far with VV320 VV565 VV24N41. The VV565 has been my go to powder for my 338 Lapua with 250gr Scenar's. My SDs are average is 2.9-3.5 @ 2947 fps on my LBR. I finally got my hands on some N555 to start load development on my 6.5 Creedmoor.
 
UPDATE: Some of powders are gone unfortunately already like N570 and N555 and N565.
We are expecting another restock next week for some of the powders.
The rest are in stock.
