I picked up some awhile back, but a buddy of mine was looking and he can't find any in stock at our normal spots. Anyone else having problems lately with 8208?
IMR 8208 anyone having problems locating it right now?

Yes, took me several weeks to get my hands on some. Finally dropped in mid week to a local place and they had 3 1lb jugs available. I bought 2 of them commenting to him I am not greedy or hoarding supplies, let someone else enjoy reloading as well.
I have started using it in my 5.56 and will most likely switch over to it as well in my .308.

When I asked for it at one store, they didn't know what I was talking about
Ofcourse these redbeards think you need a 300 win mag to kill a 90lb doe lol.

I chose "already have enough." I don't know about now but they had plenty of 8208 at Cabela's in February. I got 2 pounds back then. That will last me awhile while I experiment with different powders.I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.

Found some arcomp at a lgs today. Don't know how much they had, there were 3 one pound bottles on the shelf, along with a good supply of a lot of other powders. The price was about $4 higher than the last I bought(at a different store). Sales tax made it $41.12 a pound!!!!!!!!! . I only bought one. I shouldn't have bought any. I have other powders, other rifles and components that I can use. I will go back to shootin hogs with my 5.56/.223. I really enjoy shooting the Grendel, but not at these prices. As long as we pay the price, it will continue to go up.When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
