Possible powder supply problems incoming?

So, this happened today.....

Australia partners with France to supply Ukraine with artillery shells

The ammunition supplies fit into the ongoing support both France and Australia are providing Ukraine.

Does anyone know how this may effect powder availability? Noting that the same people supplying this powder also make all the varget, 4350 etc.....

Did powder ever come back?

Fair point. Let me rephrase - 'Is powder supply going to get even worse?'

Let me rephrase and answer. Fill in the blank with whatever you want: "Is the __________ supply going to get even worse?"

Yes.

This..... I haven't been able to find Viht for longer than I can remember.

One shop close to me has quite a bit of powder recently. Another one an hour or so away has even more.

I've even found primers, although they were $10 a hundred.

Didn't Hodgdon just put on a press release that they were going to be caught back up and expect powder supplies to improve? I don't know, I dont follow too much, powder has been easy for me to find. Its right in the cabinet where I put it.

I remember about two years ago when you would go to powdervalley or midsouth and click the button to show in stock powder and there would be maybe 5 or 6 types of pretty undesirable stuff in stock.

Lately there have been 5-6 pages of in stock powder. 4350, Varget, VV powders, ect all seem to come in stock with some regularity, but are also costing $100-150 what we were paying 5 years ago for an 8 lbs jug. With inflation, I don't see then prices coming down anytime soon.

H 4350 and Varget is on the store shelves in my are although not much ,but there seems to be a lot of VV powders available now

IMR4895 and 8208XBR

Granted Sunday was the first time I looked in a long time and I only checked Powder Valley but where can I get 8 pounds of each without having to bleed from the ass?

Local shop has tons of powder and it's not moving. Which is a good sign I guess.

This is just one shelf... There are several shelves with jugs just stacked on each other. And at prices cheaper than Powder Valley.

If you see any N560 somewhere HMU. That's what I'm looking for specifically for my 338LM. Every site I looked at last was empty. Been a couple months so I'll check around again.

Excellent. Thank you. I've fallen well behind my reloads since I was down to less than a pound of powder. Just haven't shot due to the lacking supply.

Just ordered some. Now on to primers haha.

Either way, buy as much of it as you can while you can.

Good sign: powdervalley had 8lbs and 1lbs of varget for over 3 days straight.

Who know what the future holds. Maybe $189 8 pounders or maybe $ 500 1 pounders???

AJ was right

Now if you could just find 109 Hybrids in stock.
