NO LEAD, NO POWDER AVAILABLE

[Bill Murphy]

Paul, can you confirm the $11.00 a pound prices you quoted?

[Paul Stafford III]

That is cost from Dawson's in Ohio.

They are still making runs on the bank so to speak. Powder Valley announced this morning on Facebook they had a nice shipment of Alliant Powders that included 8 lb jugs of Clay Dot, Promo and Unique. In well less than an hour it was gone. Heading for almost a year and a half since starting this thread the powder shortage is as bad as ever.

I belive mr harm is giving wholesale prices. my club price for promo is 97.00 and 120.00 for non members. 7625 is up to 26.00 a pound for members , 36.00 for non. that price on the promo was for a 8LB

Now I feel even better about the unopened 5 pounder I got for $70. It's the old style metal can that looks like a tall gallon of paint thinner.

I had to go to a meeting in Columbus, Oh , today and stoped at Buckeye Outdoors/Vance Supply and they did not have a single pound of shotgun powder on the shelves. This spring, I had bought several pounds of International and PB there.

My local "outfitter store" has a decent supply of Red Dot. My Visa card will be in use today!

For those who like Hodgdon Clays, International and Universal - the Australian company that produced these powders for Hodgdon is now reporting that the "production issue" of last year was resolved but then a "burn event" occurred in the dryer part of its process when it was brought back on line earlier this year. Net, latest word is their shotgun powders will not be available until late this year, and then the company will have to work through the order backlog. I don't use any of these powders myself but I thought I'd pass the word. It sounds like those who do might not see any on the shelves until next year.

Where did that info come from? Good news I suppose, but it doesn't explain the severe shortage of all shotgun powders, not sure what I believe at this point given the prolonged empty shelves at every retailer.
