With the possibility of being totally wrong on this, have you tried at the Lil Gun Store?

Yep, I use it for that too. Too bad you are not in the Houston area, I picked up 8 pounds a few months ago.

You *could* try putting in a call to GunMaster in Plano: (972) 423-0121

Can't guarantee that they have it, but they're quite willing to put folks on "the list" for specific powders; I got some H110 through them for my .410 after 3-4 weeks on the list.

Edit: From what I'm reading H110 is just a hair slower than L'il Gun on the burn-rate charts, and VihtaVuori N110 is a tad faster.

Thank you very much for the tip!

We actually have it on our shelf right now. Just one 1lb can of it, but it's there! Actually got some Varget in too. Haven't seen that for about a year and a half.

Seems crazy to pay HazMat shipping fees for 1 lb of powder. You can have a lot of powder shipped for one flat hazmat fee.

I'm sure we can but, as another poster said, it'd cost shipping plus hazmat. If you have a little time or a wish list of various powders, or have friends and neighbors looking to go in on an order, I might be able to consolidate the package and get it to you a lot cheaper per unit on the shipping/hazmat.

Interestingly, we're new to the board and I didn't get a notification on the response in my email. I figured I'd get notified instead of checking back periodically. I'll have to check my settings and spam folder. In case I miss your response, you can call us at 832-514-6797.
