Charlie I have been buying mine through precision reloading with out any problems.

same here Charlie- just got an order of 10 gauge Remingtons last week from Precision

Sorry Pete, Dawsons has every powder except 4756 and 7625 in the 4# container but does have even that in the 1 and 8# containers. There are shotgun primers in Cheddite, Rio, Noble Sport, and Winchester. All the wads and lead you want. So I don't really see that much of a shortage, at least here in the mid -west.

Mr. Harm:
With all due respect, if you are referring to the Dawson's Enterprises in Massillon OH, you are regrettably incorrect. I just phone them today, and they have absolutely NO shotgun target powders available, save a small reserve of Promo.

What's more, they do not expect any powders to be shipped anytime soon. Especially the various "Clays" powders.

Sorry to bear such news...

Not good news John but it helps to confirm my observations of surfing the web that the shortage of shotgun reloading powder has gone from spotty to non existent at this time. Let's hope it eases up soon.

On reading this I called Dawson's and placed an ample quantity of IMR 7625 and PB on hold for Paul Harm's order.

I also asked about the future availability of IMR single based powders. The salesperson laughed when I told of the Internet scare :crying:
I was informed that these powders will continue to be manufactured but will be sold under the Hodgen packaging rather than IMR.

I was also informed that Winchester AA Lite, 780, and two other powders will be discontinued.

If anyone knows anyone at Hodgen corporate headquarters who they may ask to can confirm the above listed logical explanition please do so and post up.

All is well in shotgun land...

Ok so why is there two different stories here? From the same vendor?

Ironically my club does order from this company and powder seems scarce....

The recent scare concerned IMR single base powders, which Dawson's have in stock.

The IMR powders seem to be available, but Alliant is not an easy find....

Does Dawsons do mail orders???
