I think the powder "shortages" are different from region to region...here in Michigan I have seen little or no powder for about 2 years on most trips to any of my local options. I will say last week I did see IMR4064 and Win 748 in 1 pounders in volume at 2 places. I am glad I was hoarder before hoarding became popular and bought a few 8 pounders a few years ago when powder was everywhere....
