That left the country in 2008. BTW, I just saw a couple of 1 lb. cannisters of Red Dot for $25 each at a local shop. I'm trying to decide...

As you know that equals $200 for an 8lb jug. I guess it depends on how much you have and how long you think the current situation with shotgun powders will last. My guess another year to three years before it gets better.

Seattle Skeet and Trap had 8 lbs of Red Dot for $130 a little while ago. My brother bought one and I declined because getting it to my home in Utah could be a problem.

Just purchased a 1 lb bottle of Win. WSF for $18. This was new stock as they never had any before. They also had Red Dot and PB 8 pounders but I did not ask the price. Shot was $39 for less than 10 bags - a dollar less for 10 or more.

I had won an auction for some powder from gunbroker and as usual I called the seller to arrange payment and at that time he told me I had to wait because he had to get his hazmat shipping paper work in order. After waiting for a month I emailed him about it and this was his response
Sir: At this time I cannot move any powder outside of my business. The ATF and DOJ and DHS has issued a Industry Advisory of the sale of Black Powder and Smokeless Powders. Retailers and Customers like you are all being effected. V/r, Dave John

Don't sound good!!!

Have them give your money back asap or ship the powder. There is nothing in the industry advisory that prevents the sale and shipment of powder. The fact you have waited a month makes me suspicious of the sellers motives much less the BS about the advisory preventing sale and shipment.

Default powder

The powder is out there, you just have to search for it. All the manufactures are making powder it just gets bought up the minute it hits the stores or in most cases the shops that get it are selling it for 500% over its usual cost. I found some Unique at a distributor out west. Don't give up!!!

Sounds like some hornswaggling going on, to borrow a word from Richard Hoover's article in the most recent Parker Pages
