Component Sightings

I am starting this sticky so so members have a place to report when they spot a source of components or ammo other members may need. This is to co-locate all posts of sightings rather than folks needed to search for new threads started intermittently for them.

Are you sure? I just checked and the only item in stock was their pour spout.

Is that directed at me? If so, yes 100% positive as of when I posted they had 1 and 8 lbs bottles available of a variety of handgun and rifle powders. I looked at Accurate #5, 7 and 5744 specifically. IMR had half or more of the powders available.

I didn't buy anything yesterday because I am well stocked and current prices are too high, but I did buy 5 lbs from them a month ago. Anytime they have anything in stock it is gone within hours if not sooner.

I see both the funnel and H50BMG today. H50BMG is too slow for anything I own. I tried the funnel once, but you have to grind it up and pour the case full of LOX to get any energy out of it, and then it gets hot enough to melt steel, so the experiment is short-lived. ;)

Note: Several decades ago, a friend of mine witnessed a rocket scientist acquaintance soaking his charcoal briquettes in LOX in place of starting fluid for a backyard BBQ. He said it flared up dramatically and melted a hole through the grill and the bottom of his Webber where it permanently cracked and marked some of his patio bricks. I guess being a rocket scientist doesn't guarantee you think everything through carefully.

Yes, reddog81.

I checked their site and I didn't find any of the stuff you listed. I'm betting they sold out in a matter of a couple of hours.

Powders do come in at PV more frequently now--but you have to move fast as they sell out fairly quickly. That said, I haven't seen any Alliant or Vitivouri (except the 50 bmg stuff) in about a year come in. I've created a bookmark on my browser so that I check almost every day and simply set the settings for "show all" and rapidly scroll down the entire list. Unfortunately they don't have an "in stock only" filter.

Brunos has a lot of powder for sale and they seem to get different ones in often , only problem is you must buy it by the case . I've been want some CFE pistol which they have in stock . However it's in 10# single pound bottle cases for $420 each . IDK right now $42 a pound doesn't sound to bad but I don't want to spend $400+ dollars on one powder .

correction - they are now selling 4 & 8# jugs of several powders but they are pricey . I just went through a mock checkout over there . $360 including hazmat and shipping for 8# of CFE pistol So basically double what I paid for it two years ago . Thank god I "want" CFE pistol and don't actually need it .

MG, note how the system truncated the middle part of the URL in your post #9 and replaced it with an ellipsis (…). The board software does that automatically to keep long URLs from causing the screen to be too wide to display without horizontal sliders. So if you paste a URL into the text space and then select and copy what you pasted to put in the link makers URL line, you always get a broken link like that. You need to leave the original, intact URL copy in your clipboard and paste that into the link maker. The truncated display then doesn't matter as the URL behind remains complete.

Browser may have a "copy link" option. Place cursor on a link and right click, select the copy link. Paste that into a browser address bar instead of simple "copy" text.

That's what I do and always have done , don't remember ever having this issue before to include some links that were paragraphs long . . FWIW I don't even know what language Uncle nick was just speaking . :eek::D

The only thing I can think that went wrong was I copied that first link from a link in a email . Maybe that link was specific to emailed advertisements . :confused:

Powder Valley just got in a shipment of VIHTAVUORI powders--you have to move very fast to order and confirm with payment within minutes.

Everglades Ammo has a few powders instock, WARNING - prices are steep. I have found most of these in the past few months on other sites sporadically at much lower prices

PV still has quite a few of the VV's, no 140 or 150 however but PV's prices are pretty much inline with pre covid though so cheers for them. I really don't need at the moment but nice to see shipment coming in

stagpanther, you ROCK!

Just placed an order with Powder Valley. Everyone else is a LOT more expensive. Been doing business with them for a long time. I was afraid they were going to strike when the iron was hot and inflate their prices once they get some in. SO GLAD they didn't.

Believe me; I was tempted to buy more by having some family members order some by proxy. Alas, I have that thing tugging on me called a conscience...:rolleyes:
