I’ve had the best luck finding powder where it is, kind of like woodcock. I just stop by local gun shops here and there. Had no luck on line. Seems powder is harder to find now than a a few month ago.

Nice clean setup. I'll make my prior suggestion again, Get a cookie sheet with a lip around the edge, and put it under the loader. Prevents spilled shot and powder from going all over.

Since I started shotshell reloading just this year, this is a nice tip. In order of suckage, least to worst, and I've done ALL of them:

1. Dropping an ounce of shot in my Grabber with no shell present
2. Missing the funnel when pouring shot in only to have about a cup full roll all over the basement floor
3. Tipping the shot/powder bar backwards without the red cap in place. LOTS of #9 all over the basement floor
