At the shot show last week and met with Hodgdon. They have discontinued 7625 and PB. What is around is leftovers and no more will be produced.

Paul Ken Meyers is still in business that I know of. Our club gets their targets from him. I saw International Clays in both 4 and 8lbs today as well as 20/28. I'm in good shape with 7625,clays and 20/28 at least for now.

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.

Things seem better but not back to normal in my NE Ohio area. Some 8 pounders of Red Dot, etc. on the shelf of a local retailer... and about $135 for same. Primers are lean.

My local distributor has some primers, but NO Federals. Their prices for powder are still about $115 for an 8 lb jug. That's IF they have what you want.

Plenty of shot. And plenty of CCI or import primers available there.

Bottom line: If you see what you want, BUY IT.

Before the next executive order...

Pete, I can't say that the powder situation has improved in the southeast. I have had Clays Universal ordered for 2 1/2 years and it still isn't available. Maybe when Rio starts getting in the game Hogdon will wake up and start paying some attention to their customers. Jim Garrett
