Is powder still in short supply? I haven't had to buy it in a while.

Also, I recommend starting with pistol, reloading for a auto rifle is a beast.

You have to watch sites and get lucky, so yes and no.

I bought 2 pound of Power Pistol at Cabela's about a month ago.

You're gonna be seeing the most common powders.

Pistol: Power Pistol, Red Dot, Blue Dot, Unique, W281, etc.

Small Rifle: BLC2, Varget, RL15, etc.

Large Rifle: RL22, H4831, RL17, etc.

But there is still short supply. That day they had gotten 7 pounds of PP and I was lucky enough to get 2 when there were only 3 on the shelf.

I would order them on websites but they never have enough inventory to justify the $25 hazmat fee.

Now primers, they are finally readily available. Cabela's has 100s of 1000s of those.

Powder supply is starting to get better, but many are still not available, especially the ones I need. Or, I can find the powders I need, but from 3 different sources.....Not going to pay the $27.50 Haz Mat fee X 3!! For those of you looking at ordering powders, consider Third Generation Shooting Supply as they have a flat $7.50 shipping. Just be sure it's in stock when ordered onlin as I've heard their online inventory status lags behind real time.
