2400 powder again available.

[Adam Helmer]

Today, I went to my local gun shop and Tim, the owner, was unpacking a powder shipment. Many powers are showing up lately, but for the last 2 years there was no 2400. I carefully hoarded a pound until today. Tim got in five pounds of 2400 along with much other powder such as IMR4350, 4831, etc. I bought a pound of 2400 for $24.95 plus 6% sales tax.

At home, I put the 2400 into the stash. My last 2400 container was bought in October 2008 for $18.95 plus sales tax. Powder and primers are abundant, but darn few .22 long rifle ammo is to be seen. The local Walmart has been out of .22 shells for the better part of two years.

What is the situation elsewhere across the USA?
