On the shelves in the DFW area? Getting low and need to restock. Win 231, titegroup, power pistol, IMR PB, etc..? I'm easy. None around here for a couple months now. I can have somebody pick it up just let me know if it's available. TIA!!

Went to BassPro in Grapevine yesterday. They had exactly one pound of Unique. it was pushed all the way to the back, so you had to look for it.

I left it there as I already have plenty of Unique.

I have noticed that they have powder from time to time, but it does not last long.

I knew powder wasn't just sitting on the shelves in the Big City but was hoping to get a few responses like this one. I know everbody doesn't want to give away their dealers location and supply. :lol:

I ordered 8 lbs or IMR PB from Midway. It said in stock, but it's not in stock. 16 weeks for the supplier to ship it. I complained but know it won't do any good. :grumble

I've got a few thousand rounds for the zombies but I'm having to cut back on plinking ammo. Down to my last lb of titegroup. :cryin

Went by Bass Pro in Garland and they had exactly *zero* canisters of powder on their shelves. Not sure why I even went there seeing how spartan everything is. Fortunately, I'm good for 9mm/.45 stuff.

If you can find it, 700-X is a very good powder to duplicate standard factory ballistics for both 9mmP and .45 ACP. Nominally a shotgun powder, I used to buy it in 12 lb kegs, and found it worked great in several handgun cartridges as well.

I found some HP38 at Ray's Hardware a couple weeks ago, but the shelves were pretty thin on Friday. I've had luck checking at the Bass Pro in Grapevine as well. It seems like they all get a shipment every week or two and the supplies don't last long once they arrive.

It seems to be popping up on the shelfs around me and staying a little longer. Yesterday was a small selection but the best I have seen in a couple of months.
