Hiya Trees! I always love a good mail call! I’m right with you on laying in some good stock of components. I’m really liking Power Pistol as well. Keep in mind that it is a double-based powder, and it does react with our powder coats. I recommend not loading it with cast/PC bullets until you are ready to shoot them within the week. Keep on keepin’ on, my friend! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
My local supplier who only sells reloading supplies, ammunition, a few optics and some cleaning supplies told me the other day that things were looking bad powder wise and were going to get much worse. I've been doing business with these guys for fifteen years, and they could always get things others couldn't and at a better price. The Alliant display case looks pretty thin, Hodgdon is a bit better but it's getting thinner by the week. VihnVouri is the only powders that seemed well stocked and currently their prices are less that any of the other brands, but till June first when they're expecting a 9% increase across the board for their distributor. Thanks to them, I'm good on all my powders, especially all the Alliant versions I shoot such as Power Pistol and 2400 and while I was there I picked up a couple extra lbs. of BE-86 for good measure.
Funny how Alliant says they have a shortage of ingredients and they are raising the price but the other companies don’t have the same problem. 😳🤭😳🤷♀️ Free hazmat is good and Gator checks have alway been the best. 👍
