I had to laugh when I recently saw someone who supposedly "shared" a lead on available powder by postiing a screenshot of themself just having purchased 20 pounds of powder. And now all of that's probably standing on a shelf in their basement right next to the 450 rolls of toilet paper they hoarded last week.... SMH

@RichJr25 I apologize that my pictures of the 'cart' were mistaken for 'purchasing'. I just added them to the cart to ensure they could be added (to make sure "in stock" really means in stock) - once added, I remove them from the cart. I didn't purchase any of that powder.

@AR10T308 I understand it's frustrating trying to purchase powder/components...having to be online all the time and when stuff come up - it's gone almost instantly at times. I just happen to be on the computer a lot - or easy access to one - during the day. No need to live online at those sites (I'd rather be out shooting) - I get in stock notifications from Discord (on phone and desktop). There are about 20 shooters from several clubs that know that, so they let me know what they are looking for. Some ask me to text them when I see something that's on their 'list'. Some will ask me to purchase for them since they are at work or can't get online. If you were here locally, I would gladly help you with your quest for Varget (or any other powder)....

Haha, no worries, and I am not judging even if you purchased 20 lbs. I go through at least 16 lbs of Varget each year (just not this year) because I shoot a lot almost every weekend. AND I do appreciate the posts on here in an effort to help others find components.

I am so fed up with trying to find some Varget. I have signed up for at least 8 different internet sellers to be notified when it comes in and I go to their websites at least half a dozen times a day.

Those that are getting it must live on their site.

There's a bunch of VV powders here:

There's a whole rigamorowe ya gotta jump through with the ATF as far as getting permission/approval to bring powder and/or primers back to the States.
There is supposed to be something about "personal use".
Repeated calls to the ATF have gone unanswered.

Yep, this is so frustrating chasing these rare Varget sightings never to be able to buy any; it is really starting to sour my opinion of the whole industry and the sport in general. I feel like such a stupid lemming running around like an idiot from seller to seller. It is almost like I would have to quit my job and spend every second of the day checking on the different sites like a complete loser to be able to buy any powder for reloading. I may just need to walk away from the sport for a while until we are not paying twice what we should and spending so much time trying to buy overpriced components.

. . . OR . . . I guess I can now go to Gunbroker and pay three times the price from the jerks who buy it all to resell it at even more ridiculous prices.

BUT thanks to the good guys who post here to try to help the real shooters (rather than the new powder speculators) find powder to keep shooting.

I've been a big fan of Varget for many years but have recently started using other powders that do as well (if not better). Sure, Varget is the easy button for lots of cartridge/bullet combinations but with a little testing I've had good success with N-140, N-150, 8208 and Shooter's World Precision. Shooting mostly F-Class now so load tuning is pretty important. Point is that when you expand your search to 4-5 other choices it gets a lot easier..... GL

amen to that. I was using Varget for three different cartridges at the beginning of this mess and realized my stash was not going to last. So I started diversifying and now have three or four powders I can use for every cartridge I load for. Sure I would like to find another 8 pounder or two of Varget but if not I have fallbacks and the world will not come to a end

Jeff I appreciate you, and your energy/efforts to keep us informed on availability.
It was extremely beneficial this last week scoring 7# H4895 for a friend and his new 6br.
Every time I saw 1 of your posts I'd call him.
Scored 2# last week, 5# today, teamwork wins out in times like these.
Thanks again Brett
