Powder Search:

[Quigley97]

Here is one for all the reloaders. I did an online search for powder. Of the 15 to 20 web sites that I check none had any shotgun powder. I started looking at other sites and found "Primers House". That sit listed Red Dot 8lb container for $185.00. Naturally I jumped on it. At check out I could not receive a function to enter my card number. It listed "Zelle" as a payment function. I have never heard of this so I did nothing. I received an email from Primers House the next day stating that I needed to contact them for payment info. I tried the chat function, NO REPLY. I tried the phone number and all I got was "your call cannot be completed try later". So far It has been 5 days and no one has contacted me so this is definitely a scam.

The price alone woulda been a red light for me . I got two 8 pounders of Unique today from a semi local shop and that was $279.99 before tax per 8 pounder .

That's what I thought Craig. I have been on other sites and they show an item price and when you go to check out the price changes, usually on the increase. Apparently this site lists that they have primers and powder, but they cannot be contacted. They show a "Pay Pal" option at check out. I have had major problems with Pay Pal in the past and don't go anywhere near Pay Pal.

If you can't pay with a credit card it's a scam.

Ahh hell, I've been looking for Unique for about a year now. Congratulations! (a single 4-pounder would have done me OK)

Tom thanks for the tip.
I really thought by now you would see a trickle of powder available through the normal retail channels. If anything the situation is worse. Powder on GB is $50-$80 per pound. I check my local guy and the internet retailers on a regular basis and nothing in stock for months. No wonder everyone hoards.

A semi local to me shop got a shipment from Alliant Thursday afternoon . I’ve got a friend that works there and he gave me a call first thing Friday morning and I made the hour or so drive to get the Unique . There price wasn’t cheap at $35@pound but it is reasonable compared to most of the others I’ve seen as of late .

I think powder is trickling in to shops but goes out the door before ever hitting the shelves. Insider trading. It's who you know.
