Did they quit making bullseye powder ?
Of coarse the title of the thread is just a joke but I checked several big supplyer's today and everyone was out . Checked local sources and no luck again ! Anyone know who has any ?

When I searched using the "reloading powder bot" none was listed. On GB there is one auction for 1 pound.

The only powder I can get right now is local, and the choices are slim. One LGS wants $36 for a pound. The other store is reasonable at $22 a pound, but neither has any real choices. I have managed to pick up some longshot, and imr/4227. Online sites usually just have "out of stock" on almost all there powder.

I have read, and I hope it is true, that the powder people were busy making rifle and shotgun powder but now that most of the hunting seasons are over they will get back to pistol powders so it should get better. Like I said, I hope it is true.

Down in my neck of the woods, you can't find anything except a few rifle powders, and those are usually ones that don't sell that many like H50BMG or RL25, and other powders for large magnum cartridges. Looking for Pistol powder is like tryng to for a unicorn flying in a rainbow...

I was talking with the manager of a major dealer near me ( the largest dealer in western NY), and i asked about alliant powders. He mentioned that the Alliant rep hasn't even returned phone calls from them in 6 months.
Lots of powders are becoming more available, but Bullseye, Unique, Red Dot and Power pistol are still very rare around here.

Cabelas in Hamburg PA a couple of weeks ago had some Unique. First pistol powder I had found in awhile.
