Herco Powder

Has anyone seen Herco for sale? It shoots great in my 357 with 125gr bullets?

Just this week, I've seen Alliant powders on my LGS's shelf for the first time since I moved here (Idaho in March). Red Dot and Green Dot. No Herco though

I haven't used Herco since I first started loading in 1984. At that time, I didn't know what I was doing and my LGS had almost entirely Hercules (at the time) propellants. I bought "the spectrum" - Bullseye, Red Dot, Green Dot, Blue Dot, Herco.

Anyway, I used it and remembered it performed well; but for whatever reason, I stuck with Blue Dot (until I discovered W296 - but that's a different story) and forsaked Herco. I was a young loader. Point is, I bet Herco with 357/125 is indeed a great combination. These days, I use Power Pistol - that's my propellant of choice with 125's.

Hope you find some soon.
