Has the powder availability situation changed in your area? I am not able to walk into any place I know of and immediately buy popular shotgun powders. I was able to buy an 8lb jug of Red Dot this week from a gun club member who dabbles in selling reloading supplies. I am good for some time to come with this acquisition. The seller told me the distributor where he buys his stuff has increased prices on powder. 700-X saw the biggest increase, his price on 8lb was $160. He said suggested retail on it is now over $200. The Red Dot was $135. I expected the prolonged powder shortage would eventually bring higher prices.

Seems as if it has lightened up a bit Pete. I just picked up an 8lb keg of 20/28 for $124 at one of the distributors in PA. They had a good selection on hand.
