N32c production was recently discontinued by Viht, so availability depends on whether any suppliers still have it in stock.

The problem with these 'speciality grades' (including Trail Boss) is twofold. First, they are low volume. Second and more important, they don't have production linkage to the high volume grades and therefore require relatively large amounts of time and resources to set up very occasional production runs at the expense of mainstream products. Viht has said that with the current huge demand for powders, it can't justify keeping N32c going, and I'd expect ADI which makes the Hodgdon extruded powders plus Trail Boss is in the same situation.

Has anyone ever tried to make a connection between these two (in mention) and the Black Horn 209 powder? I'm just curious because it is also being used in the older cartridges designed for black powder.
