Picked up 2 lbs of tightgroup the other day at GU but its all long gone.  They also have the shotgun powders you can use in 9mm.

I'll sell you a pound of bullseye for $5,000.  Just kidding, unless you really want it.... ;D

I am sitting on 3.5 lbs of bullseye and tight group.  That is about 6-8K rounds depending on how you load them.  SHould be ok for a bit.

The powder trickles in here and there.   The other day at GU a 70 year old man bought 12, 8 lbs jugs of powder.  Serious dude, this is the problem.  Going to be some good estate sales in a few years.

I hit up gun shops daily, score 22, powder, its all about timing.  Most no long notify they just put it out.

NO ONE has alliant powders coming in, something is wrong.  You can get ar comp and a few others at GU but nothing new for quite some time.  I heard there was a fire but that is a rumor that is spreading, nothing confirmed.

IIRC there have been a couple of explosions recently at powder manufacturers, including Alliant.  I've heard Federal and Fiocchi both use Alliant powder, and pretty much all the remaining production capacity is going to them.  Since shotguns and pistol typically use the same powder both are are scarce supply.  High school trap teams are having a hard time finding enough shells.  Handloaders are having an even harder time.
