    Yes. You're lucky and in some areas, product is shipping slightly faster than it's selling.

    I think I know the shop. They have been around and have a pretty big following so they look after their customers.

    I stopped by Shotgun Sports and Outdoors (I think that was the name) in Anniston, AL weekend before last and they had some WST along with others. They also had rifle, pistol, and shotgun ammo as well as hundreds of handguns in the cases. They said they had just recently received a lot of it.

    231 and other popular powders were selling for an average of 25.00 a pound here, before Decembe, so that is an excellent price, and a good sign of normalcy returning.

    Just bought an 8 pound jug of Accurate Arms Nitro 100 (NF) today for $150.00 ... all in ... so I guess I can load a few more rounds ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    I can't find anything around here. I ask for Unique and/or 2400 everyplace I go, and everyone laughs at me.

    Hang in there, Hendere. They'll quit laughing when they have more than they can sell. Then, your dollar is good to see.

    Good Luck,

    And that's why I don't buy it locally. The last time I bought any powder locally was when I brought my own caddy to Alabama Ammo and had them fill it with XMR 4064 for a good price, ~$35 for 8 lbs IIRC. That was probably 15 years ago.
