Shotshell Powder

Redcobra · Apr 27, 2014

Anybody see any Shotshell powder?
Looking for 4 or 8 pounders of Claydot, Red Dot, Green Dot, Promo, or 20/28?

Found that buying 1 pounders (if you can find them) is more expensive than buying factory promo or Eurotrash shells.

Of course if anyone has a secret stash of Clays or International they want to part with let me know.

WST and WSF are good for shotgun as well.

Try Shyda's in Lebanon Pa or Greentop in Ashland, VA. These are where I go to stock up on components and powder.

Bass Pro, one exit before Green Top (Ashland, VA) usually has powder, when the BP in Hanover doesn't!
(And no long wait to either get powder or get waited on, at the gun counter!)

Isn't there a place (PG trap?) that sells reloading supplies for shotshell?

fabsroman · May 5, 2014

Holy smokes Batman. I just went and checked the website where I buy the vast majority of my reloading components and there is hardly any powder available at all. Guess that is the result of warmer weather coming around. A couple of months ago they had some powder here and there. Now, almost everything is "Out of Stock". Hope the stuff I have on hand last me until hunting season comes around and the weather gets colder.

Not in Maryland since 5 pounds is the max most people can buy without a permit.

Edit to add: Looks like it was at Greentop in Ashland, Virginia. Might have to take a ride over there with a buddy, buy some powder, and split it up.

I was there yesterday. Picked up Reloader 15, Power Pistol and 8028XBR

They had RL-15,20,25, clays, H414, IMR 3031and several more that I dont use like Hybrid and Titewad.

Did they actually have Clays or was it International Clays? For Clays, I'd drive out there and pick my two brothers up on the way so we could get enough to make it worthwhile.

Clays powder is back. Clyde's had 7 #1 lbs two weeks ago along with some Universal Clays.

It was H. International Clays, not the Hodgdon Clays. I have bought Alliant Claydot from there several times, but not in stock at the moment. Had an opportunity to load and shoot a box each of 1 ounce loads of Hodgdon Clays, Alliant Claydot, and Promo today. All between 17.1-17.4 grain. The Promo kicked and smacked the clays just as well. Starting to like the Promo especially for the money.

Thanks.

Just saw some 1 pound stuff for sale online in New Zealand (lol). Good to know it is coming back. Seemed to be a unicorn there for a while.

It really is insane how many powders are still "out of stock" at the large mail order retailers.

The shortage of powder won't stop until everyone that uses the Clays line of powder has stocked up.

Or somebody's house blows up because they have tons and tons of powder stocked up and then the surviving hoarders decide they had better get rid of 100 or 200 pounds of their stash.

Of course, this isn't the issue in Maryland since we are only allowed to have 5 pounds of powder on hand at any given time unless it happens to be stored in shotshells/cartridges.
