Are you a powder HOARDER? Am I? Is your buddy?

[geotndtwine]

Not really looking for to big a discussion here just wondering, I have heard, as you all have. The reason there is no powder is because people are hoarding powder. But everywhere I look there is adds for PLEASE SPARE POWDER. I just want to know is there any truth behind the powder hoarding roomer. Alright me first 15yr re-loader just been lucky was never a powder hoarder always bought a pound or two as I needed it, have a stock of about 10lb but mostly different powders max 2lb one kind and some of the cans are pretty light.

What do you have? Show pictures if you claim to have 100lb, pictures worth a 1000 words, anyone can tell a story. And if you have none say so too, or if you are trying new powders because that's what it is...

Thanks
Kevin

I think the powder hoarding issue originates in the US and that effects us with supply.

I know Canada is the drop in the bucket but just out of curiosity I am interested.

alas, they are all empty it's what i've gone through in 4-5 years of reloading.

Yes I'm a hoarder. And no I won't say how much I have as I may or may not be getting close to the maximum allowed.

 

[Eagleye]

Yep, I'm a hoarder, if that is the proper term.

Not willing to say how much, but plenty.

Regards, Dave.

I'm going to be lynched when I post a pic on Sunday when I get home.

 

[chappy]

i'm not a hoarder. i just like to stock lots in case.

You have close to 75 kg? Lol. Correct me if I'm wrong but i think that's what the max is allowed..

 

[cigarbufff]

Im not have about 10 lbs total not much at all

 

[oops]

They laughed at me for too much,now,I laugh in their face for none they have........muh aha

Would I be a #### if I said I have about 60lbs? Hopefully not... but then again, none of it was purchased in panic buying sessions, they were picked up from gun stores across the years.

Should last me about 3 years for the bulk of my calibers, except for the big bore stuff like .338LM that takes 90gr per case. A pound of that doesn't last too long if you shoot it often.

#### I forget it was KG, okay I have about half of what I'm allowed. I've hardly bought any guns this winter, all my money has gone into powder and primers.

I have so much that wholesale sports called me last week looking for some................

those who think that is a joke can laugh, those who have been on the inside of my bunker can laugh harder............

Just ran into 12 pds of Alliant powder... It's been added to my hoard. Typically 8 peers are how I buy now....

Just yesterday I found out you can load 945ish rounds with 1 pd of Power Pistol. Who remembers that right? Am I right? I know I'm right.

 

[ronsnighttrain]

I am new to reloading, I can't find any powder to even think about hoarding.

 

[VancouverSkiBum]

I waited forever to get my 1st pound of powder. All I have is about 700 grams. Ill get them as I see them around.

 

[hoytcanon]

I don't hoard, but I do stock enough to feed my favorite cartridges for years... this is not hoarding in response to a shortage... I do this with everything I am into... I have a good supply of brass, bullets and primers also.... if I had to nurse it along, I could conceivably shoot the rest of my life on what I have in my shop right now... dang, I wish I didn't just write that... it's going to make it harder to convince myself that I need more...
