Looking for pistol powder.

[2006outback]

Anyone know where I could get some pistol powder. Looking to load some .40 S&W.

Looking to either buy locally in the Winnipeg, MB area either from a retailer or private sale. I don't mind driving a bit for it too. Or if anyone knows of an online source, I'd be interested in that too.

Thais for your help everyone.

The wood joynt usually lists pistol powder and I think they are in Manitoba.

For a long time now, you need to look Canada wide and everyday! Because as soon as it comes in it's gone. One thing you can do is to put your name on a waiting list with several dealers who have one and just wait it out, like most of us do. They keep promising it will get better, still waiting !

Give Rat River Sales in St Pierre a call. Dan was able to get me 8 lbs of HS6 about a month back. Who knows, there may be some left over.

The key to scoring pistol powder is check/ask often and don't b too picky when u find some

and even if you found something you cannot take it back with you... well legally anyway.

I was in Jo Brook firearms in Brandon the other day for some BL-C2 rifle powder and I was happy to see that had not a bad selection. I think things are starting to improve. Sticker shock is an isssue for me though. with the low Canadian dollar some of this new stock is over 40 dollars a pound, scary.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I will try at some of the sources mentioned.

It's really tough right now to find some, you may try your local club or a WTB add for your area in case someone has a pond or two to help you out

I found some Win 231 at P&D in Edmonton yesterday. Literally the first Win 231 I have seen in at least 2 years. Bought 2 pounds only, don't want to be a powder hoarding jerk. If more bought for their immediate needs, we would not have this lack of supply right now.

WSS Calgary got in some 231 and HP-38. Picked up a lb up on Monday. Might be all gone by now though.

Sometimes checking the smaller places helps too. I just checked on of the local shops in my area and they HAD 4 lbs of win231.
Now I have 4 lbs

Wholesale sports in Kelowna also had W231 today and I got 2 pounds out of there. I got 3 lbs of VVN105 last week out of prophet river. It is slowly trickling in now.

Just picked up 3lbs $33/lb at ISG in Vancouver. Left 2 for whoever is looking. =o)

I see that Rusty Wood Trading Co is now carrying Nobel Sport VECTAN pistol powders.
Load data might be a challenge to find.
In appearance, the powders remind me of the long defunct Alcan powders like AL 5 and AL 8.
