Start a power manufacturing company. You could retire in a week. But seriously the selection is quite poor and sporadic. I stopped reloading about 1/2 through this mess, not because I ran out, because I didn’t want to run out!
Your just going to have to jump on anything you see if you want it.
Might even have to stray from your favorites.
I have been using up any stray 1lb jugs on my shelf and been shooting mostly 22lr.
I dont really want to buy any unless we get back to the 6-8lb jugs in one box.
Prices are a bit high also. I dont think prices are going down anytime soon.
I have a little cash stashed and I might buy another 5-10k rounds of 22lr before powder?
If you're not already a user, recommend getting the Discord server app and being ready to jump on availability that shows up. No question that availability is relatively low, and most vendors have imposed purchase limits. Certainly costs are up. I've managed to pick up everything from Winchester pistol powders to IMR and Hodgdon rifle powders to VihtaVuori rifle powders in 8 lb containers in the last month using Discord.
Don't know where you are, but if you need something in a small quantity that I might have to trade/sell, PM me. Good luck!

Sign up at online retailers for in stock notification, call Kittery, Shooters, Glenns, and other local haunts for inventory. Adjust your loads to accommodate powders that you do find,.. those are my ideas,..

online is the way.
have accounts on PV/MSS/Brown/Midway ready
consider buying popular stuff when it appears and be willing to trade
discord
widen your scope of what you willing to use.
If you're diligent and patient, it's out there w/o sleeping in your car waiting
for BPS or Cabelas or whatever.

Can I ask why you can’t order online? You’re going to be VERY limited if you rely on local shops for powder. Aside from trying Shooters Outpost, Glenn’s, Cabelas, there’s also Al’s Gun shop in Derry, NH and shooting supply in Westport:

What powders are you looking for?
Or what are you looking to load?
If you can answer those questions most people here are very helpful and might offer to trade or sell you something or help you find it.

Midwayusa just got in some Alliant 2000MR if anyone is looking for some.

Anyone seen Benchmark?
edit- LOL found another pound stashed away in my extra storage locker. First thing I do once I land in a free state is set up shelves with all my reloading supplies in plain sight so I don't have to dig through the damn locked containers. I'd still buy more Benchmark and Varget when they pop up for sale.

is great- if you are looking for muzzle loader pellets.primers unicorn thread is where i post of what i see.
usually you want to go to valley site every day around 9:15am and keep checking it until 10:45am somewhat, as usually they do drops in that timeframe.
brownells did not have anything too popular in stock in a long while.
Good to know, thank you. Easier on a work from home day as the system in the office blocks everything GUNZ!!! related except the CMP forum. I'm a bit slow on the touch screen phone. Used to be lightning fast with the tactile buttons on a Blackberry.
be aware - when good stuff appears at valley the whole site may become frozen, but, it is there. key is to be pre-logged in, and go into cart and into checkout fast.
if checkout says it is out of stock and asks to clear the cart - dont, keep repeating.

Holy F!
LOL of course there was a guy at Camp Perry last summer with Varget in stock. Only $650 per 8 lb jug.
My last match was one of the last days of Nationals- for sure all the vendors were packing up and bailing out that day. I'm pretty sure Mr. Varget took his jug home. I'll f-ing start collecting dried piss and make my own black powder before I pay that kind of money.

Stopped in a small LGS this week and asked about powder.
They were busy and told me to go out back and look for myself.
I was completely stoked to see the SR4759, the 4350 was a bonus.
Was hoping to find some IMR4227 but the 4759 has a close burn rate.
I know SR4759 was discontinued years ago but it's a good cast bullet rifle powder.
So I spent the $425.00

they found price level where people stopped buying.
Reloder16 in 1lb cans is still there, at $53 per lb, 2 cans max per order, plus shipping fee, plus hazard fee, plus tax = f#ck it.
I'm pretty sure that guy f***ed himself with that stunt. I saw that jug of Varget and said "I'll never buy anything from this douchebag". I think a lot of people said the same thing.
