due to issues getting powder I found a company in Phx AZ (local to me) that apparently blends their own powder, And for much cheaper then the big name brand companies i have been buying from, so i was curious if anyone had experience with any of the Thunderbird Cartridge Company Inc powder? Used just for bulk 223 and 9mm loads
 
A long,long,long time ago [ mid 70's] TCCI had a powder {T-??} that the bench rest shooters using the PPC cartilage were buying up and stock piling . Also during that time they offered some pulled 140 + gn 7 MM bullets that had some nickle or chrome alloy in the jacket.
They were being stock piled by the IHMSA shooters.
To your question, No, not recently, but if you find something that works , stock pile some, as it may or may not be the same, the next time you get some.

I have actually been to thier shop there in Laveen, AZ. At the time they only had pistol powder and pulldown 50BMG powder and other surplus components.

They were always good to me. I bought lots of bullets from there. If you shot 50 BMG in the phoenix area, you likely were a regular visitor.

Good to know, i know they are selling 50 cal to the gov so I guess its good enough for them
 
I picked up some #5 powder for 9mm from them and it is extremely accurate, highly recommend and I also picked up some T2202 for 308 but I havnt tested it yet, apparently it works very well with 223 as well and is quite similar to H335
