    Picked up a few lbs of hand gun powder i didn't need, but took anyway. The feast or famine of components keeps one on their toes. No matter how many folks say, Components are making a comeback. Sure they are, like vanilla ice and milli vanilli.

    The small reloading factory I work at nearly stopped production completely because the owner could not get powder.

    He was contacted about a Spanish powder he had never heard of ( he has been reloading for 30 years and does custom reloads also ) and at first only had the data for 9 mm.
    He eventually got hold of data for the other calibers, tried and tested them and was satisfied enough to put his name on the line with it.

    Now we are able to load .380, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45, 38 Special and .357 all with the same powder.

    He nearly went out of business if this had not shown up.

    Myself,
    I got the brass for my .32 French Long and need to decide on which bullet to use.
    Also waiting on Unique or Bullseye powder.

    In preparation for shooting my French 1935 A.

    Yeap, I was in Omaha and stopped in a shop that had an impressive amount of powder on the shelf. They even had 8lb and 1lb jugs of Winchester Autocomp, which is a great pistol powder for 9/40/45 etc. One guy in there was trying to find titegroup and I told him to give the autocomp a try, he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that a different powder might be as good or better than what he was using. Oh well, his loss. I walked out of there with 24lbs of powder, and a lighter wallet.

    Now I get to spend some time tuning up some 7-08 brass into 260 brass. Found a shop that had it on the shelf too.

    Couple dozen rounds for the .338-06, 50 rounds of .44 mag for the second batch of tests with the lever gun (new cast boolit)... still in search of the .44 mag load that the rifle and pistol both shoot well.
