    IMR 8208 anyone having problems locating it right now?

    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?

      Picked up 1lb. today along with some 2000MR. He was out of small pistol primers though except for the magnums. Gun range outside of Tyler don't think they ship

          I went to a local sporting goods store today. The had CFE 223 which is what I was looking for so got a few lbs. They had 8208 and most of the other powders except AR comp. Hardly any primers but still a pretty good selection of bullets.

            Picked up 2# of 8208 and 2# of H4350 last week. Only thing they were out of that I was looking for was CCI 400's.

                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.

                      Same here. Only one place that sales powder around my area and unless it's a powder they have been stocking for years, they just look at me crazy like they have never heard of it.

                      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.

                              It's out there in local stores but apparently scarce with online vendors. My lgs is still getting regular shipments of it. I picked up a few pounds late last week. Got some CFE223, RL15, RL16, and Lil Gun as well.
