Is H4350 gone forever?

[spclark]

nope the laws of greed backstabbing and monopolies

And a Fed Reserve that prints paper money like it's going out of style....

US minimum wage in 1968 was $1.60.

"Inflation" pegs that 'buying power' in today's dollars at $11.97 so today's $7.25 was worth $.97 back then.

See where we're headed?

H4350 has been one of the easier powders to get, it doesn’t last long but I’ve seen it in stock at several sources the last couple of months.

See if you can find VV160 or VV165. i you load with either of these you won't want H4350.

I have an open 1 pound can I got from Grampa. It seems to be a long cut grain. It is one clump in the bottom of the can. Prolly won’t measure well.

Hodgdon (ADI)powder has a tendency to clump. I've had Retumbo and H1000 8lb jugs turn into a seemingly solid clump, I shook the jug and broke it up. Shot great.

Picked up 8#er of H4350 at Whittakers in KY about a month ago.....$240+ tax. Buddy said, damn that’s high.....I said it’ll be cheap in a month or two!

I don't know what your problem is, I have 16kgs here in Australia.....Wait, we make it here and we are hoarding it. You yanks have had it too good for too long.

So what does 1 lb typically cost in Aus$?

 

[Quickoz]

Mmmm, we get it in 4kg and 1kg. 1kg is around $110 - 120 AUD. 4kg is between $400 - 450.

Was at the local gun store last week. They had at least 6 1 lb containers of H4350. I picked one up for load developement in my 6 CM.

I've been researching powders for my 6.5CM, and the one that seems to always be at the top of the list is H4350. Only problem is that I am starting to see what everyone has been talking about regarding availability. If this powder is so great, and the demand is so high, why isn't Hodgdon making more of it?

I would swear that I have seen 8-lb containers of this stuff somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where. Is it really so scarce that I should buy every last lb that I can find, and then sell it on ebay for my retirement?

If I’m not mistaken you can back order H4350 from Graf&son.

Yes.

I’m still finding plenty of H4350, maybe I’m lucky. Retumbo has been the one I can’t secure.

Thanks. 1 kg at AUD $110 = 1 lb at USD $37.85. About equal.

Found Retumbo last month! First time in three years.

My LGS has 6 1 pounders of Retumbo. They've been there for a few weeks. I traded 4 pounds Retumbo for 4 pounds of IMR3031 a couple of weeks ago.

I sure wish I could find some that could be shipped, I have lots of stuff I could trade if someone was close enough but this area is wiped clean.
