Is powder coming back?

[Knebel]

I have seen some here and there too... I need some Trailboss powder and I don't really understand why this isn't available anywhere. Its not like they load factory ammo with this

Maybe that's why? All those powder companies care about is staying in business. Maybe they quit making Trail Boss? Too busy trying to keep up with powder ammo manufacturers use? I'd like to see some Unique.

That could certainly be possible. Stop production on that and focus on ammo. I just like it in my 500 magnum for some lighter loads...

Glad I bought an 8# jug of it a couple years ago!

It's been pretty spotty here, depending where you go. A few stores around town have had some, seems to come in waves. I was in Reno recently and picked up a couple lbs.

One store has a ton but it's $50 a lb.

Still a whole lot cheaper than WE pay over here...........................

I was very surprised some weeks back when I saw Titegroup available at MidSouth Shooter's Supply. I had not used it before but kept seeing mentions of it as being a good alternative to Bullseye. I got 8 pounds and found that it works fine for my 9mm and 45acp and takes a lighter load. That is a lot of 3.5 grain loads.

Just hope my primers last me until the prices come back down a bit.

The thing about primers is it takes a tremendous amount of capital outlay and technical prowesss to stamp two tiny pieces of metal and then screed some goop so it'll never happen.

And that's just for regular primers, imagine the outlay and prowess involved in Bench Rest primer making.

Pfft, those are childs play compared to MAGNUM primers

My mind can't even begin to comprehend Magnum Match primers.

Not surprised at the bureaucratic entry barriers. Monopolies make sure to have many in place.

Good news!

I hope that they make a great product and I wish them well.

My husband reloads, he does not need or want any primers, but I know that a lot of people out there need them.

I do not reload.

Powder Valley seems to have stock every day. Quite a bit right at the moment. A couple days ago I even saw Varget. Even had Winchester SRP's for a moment. $75. Was not quick enough to score those or the Varget.

Powder Valley supposedly has a fair amount of powder in stock.
