Anyone found powder anywhere?

Someone online said:
I have had several chances to buy powder recently in various websites. I think powder is getting more available, especially in comparison to primers. Some of those chances were available for more than 15 minutes, which is actually quite good compared to just weeks ago.

Agreed.

So I just need to start paying attention to my emails

Have you used norma? And I'm wondering if they are back in business or why this is available after it was discontinued.

Yes I use it in a 6 BR and 204 in 06 and other similar cases I’m not aware it’s ever been discontinued? I’ve bought it off and on for a while.
 
International shipping of powders has been sporadic at best, especially after the wave of COVID-19 lockdowns last year. Shooters World powders manufactured in the Czech Republic phased in & out of availability a while back at several retailers, good to see something else from Europe arrive as well.
 
Just picked up a lb of Varget and a lb of H 4350 this morning
at the local pawnshop. Even had 5.7x28 ammo...think I should buy a
lottery ticket ???

I'm preferably looking for 308. And would probably take almost anything now.

The websites I look at I haven't seen any of it come in. And I'm not spending that kind of money gunbroker has it for.

I was backordered from Oct to Dec at Midsouth for Precision Rifle powder. It arrived just before Xmas. Fortunately I placed my order before the election. I'm set to shoot for at least until the next administration.
 
I ordered 8 lbs of Accurate 4064 on Feb 19 from Hodgdon. It finally arrived yesterday, 3/5/21. With HazMat shipping it came to $35/lb. Not a bargain, but it will keep me shooting for a while.

Mashburn,
I have two local dealers I use, I have asked them to call my phone when they get a shipment!.... both have been very reliable about calling and distributing equal so everyone on list gets some over the last several months I’ve probably bought 20lbs+of the popular powders except RL 33 and only maybe 4 lbs of RL 26 but as others have stated you can’t procrastinate!...I’ve clocked out to go buy powder

I found 11 kernels of what I believe to be Varget in the carpet beneath my reloading bench yesterday. Don't overlook that area as a potential source of powder. ;)

Seriously - powder can be found, but it requires diligence and patience, as other have noted. Check online retailers several times a day, watch the forums, check with your LGS. If you do these things regularly, you will likely find some powder you can use.

I have a decent supply of 33 if you come this way.
