This Lack of Powder Thing is BS

[Bitumen]

So, the word on the street is that powder shipments to Canada won't be arriving until sometime in August. It WAS suppose to be early July. I'm not sure the reason why for the new delay. I think Hodgdon owes a little more explanation to us Canucks on to why no powder is being shipped to Canada other than "we are doing the best we can to fill orders."

 

[Shibby!]

Buy a different brand than.

Good luck.

The stuff that hits the shelves in August (or later) will be sold to people with orders already in.

They're selling it faster than they can make it.
Why send it halfway around the world when people are lining up on the doorstep to buy it?
How much more explanation do you need?

A bit more patience, the spike has passed, and folks will start having buyer's remorse soon and start selling.
Until Oblunder panicks everyone again...

I guess I am really out of touch as I didn't even know there was a shortage.

Haven't had an Issue yet, But I have a friend who runs a sub division of a firearms supply store so I get to pick stuff out before the public

How is it for IMR powders?
I'm asking as they are made in Canada.


One of the locations of the newly constructed plants was Valleyfield, in Canada. This plant continues to be the primary supplier of IMR Legendary Powders today.

There is a powder shortage? I'm not due to stock up again until 2015.

 

[Fassteel]

I was going to sell off a bunch of powder to some needy folks, then I called P&D and asked Diane about this so called shortage. She said we have nothing in stock for powder and could not tell me when she thought she was going to get some. Maybe hold on to my varget. FS

Well unless I heard wrong or they changed things, powder gets made here, shipped to the states for packaging, then shipped back to us and sold for a good chunk of change.

 

[Trinimon]

Cabelas has some IMR4895 but only worthwhile if you can locally pickup 'cause they want $156 to ship it to your door!

There is one solution to this problem & it can resolved in a New York minute. IIRC, it has something to do with the letter V.

Just think outside the box! (or powder can, lol)

Still forgetting a few zero's there.

Im running low on powder now. Thought I had enough but guess not.
