    An FYI for everyone. A friend of mine went to Shyda's in PA yesterday. He said they had 7625, 800x, titewad, PB, longshot, & others. He was looking for shotgun powders. Not sure what they have for rifle and pistol. Maybe the shortage is coming to an end?

    I was up at Shyda's on wed. They had rifle powder but very little shotgun powder. They did have 4 and 8 pound containers if Lil Gun. They also had Varget, 800x, PB in one pound containers. I can't remember the others.

    I was surprised that it was up for almost 45min! lol

    Didn't get any, I'm good on 1680 and not gonna be an H'r.. :lol2:

    Have been seeing more pistol powders lately come up... Unique, Titegroup, Bullseye, some dots, etc.. but they go fast too!

    I tried to order 10lbs, but only one left...looks like you beat me to it. If you find that you have an extra lb or 2 I will gladly take it off your hands.

    There are other powders that work well in 300BLK to look for, 4100, 5744, 4227, Lil Gun.

    Yeah powder doesn't stick around long, it's like it has a self life which is short.

    I have H110 for supers...but seems A1680 seems to be "it" for subs. Anything else work really well for subs?

    5744 works as well as 1680 for subs.
    I hear good things about IMR4227, IMR4198 and H4198 for subs. I have not tried the later three yet.

    Believe it or not, but I actually had good luck with L.G. and H110 in subs.

    They'd cycle a 12.2", but wouldn't lock the bolt back w/out a can.

    Thanks guys! I will do some testing, I have 5lbs of H110 and 1lb of A1680, if H110 cycles fine then I will just use that. I will shoot subs suppressed only.
