With the exception of 1/2 a container of Trailboss, I am out of powder, bullets and primers :(

I have 42 pieces of once fired 7x57 brass left to load.

If anybody in the GTA is setup to reload 7x57 and wants to help me out, I'd appreciate it !

My go to powder for the last 10 years has been 8208. I had quite the stockpile. I came to rely upon it for 22-250, 308, 30-06, 7x57 and 8x57. It's the most consistent powder I have ever used and very versatile. I will look around for alternatives.

RL-19, W760, H4350 all work... I like RL-19 for 7X57. 7mm bullets are easier to find than 6.5mm right now.

W760 or H414 will fit the bill very nicely as a replacement for all of the cartridges you list.
 
Go to the XRO auction site. It’s where those that missed all the warning signs got to shop. You can even get 190 GMM LR primers if you have more than $100 to spend.

I assume we can expect lots of these threads from guys too lazy to search for themselves. At least a few on the first page already.

Has nothing to do with laziness. I am interested in specific powders that I can source locally, as well as bullets. You may be ok with anything.
 
I love IMR 8208 in 204, 22-250, 243 and those are my favourite guns to shoot. I too am low but luckily bought a 5lb jug of D8208 I will work with when my IMR 8208 runs dry. This drought has made me a little more reluctant to shoot as much as I used to so I find myself re organizing brass, pulling bullets from trial batches that didn’t shoot accurately etc.
 
Yeah, I just bought my first 243... and am hoping to load it with IMR8208 as well. Shelves are dry around here. Good hunting bullets are almost non-existent too.
 
Well, thanks for the thread... it made me wonder what my inventory of W748 was... and found that I only had three pounds left... as a result, I used "GOOGLE" and in 60 seconds found it in stock at a vendor and ordered another 5 pounds.
