    Best place to back order Powder?

    Are there any reputable vendors taking back orders on Powder?
    I'm looking for:
    - Blue Dot
    - Longshot
    - Accurate 9
    - Vihtavuori N340
    - VV 3N37
    - Power Pistol

    I've signed up for the notices from Midway/Brownells etc, but by the time I check my email and go to the website things are OOS. Same thing with gunbot, I think by the time it hits the website the meager supply is already gone.

    So I'd be ok with putting in a back order if anyone's still doing that.

    I've never ordered gun powder online, but here's a list of online dealers I found. You might find what you're looking for in there:

      I know http://www.grafs.com takes back orders on powder but I've had two orders in with them since March.

      I've read that they will eventually fill your order and that you just have to wait.

        Thanks. I have no problem with waiting, I've gone 6 months without new powder anyway! I just want to get my foot in the door and not have to spend time scouring the web.

          I think that's what you eventually have to do (scour). Few places are taking back orders, and you're just going to end up having to wait until all inventories are normalized.

          I've bit the proverbial bullet so to speak, and have bought on gunbroker.com. I'll eat paying just less than twice as much if there is a buy it now option for at least 4 pounds at a time.

          You got to remember, powder is the cheapest component of the reload. Doubling the price still only raises the reload cost a few cents.
          Before there was Polymer there was Accuracy.

            You'll have better luck with this question in the Reloading forum. Or just subscribe to this thread:

              I order from Grafs all the time, I currently have a backorder in for 32 Pounds of Promo (group order) They do come through though it may take a couple of months...and your credit card is not charged until the order is processed of course...
              TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
              The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
              Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
              Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
              The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
              The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
              The best lack all conviction, while the worst
              Are full of passionate intensity.

                Thanks!

                I think I'll put in several separate orders for different powder, enough make it worthwhile to have a hazmat fee on each. I'm afraid if I make a "shopping basket" with several smaller batches they'll end up being shipped separately and getting charged a hazmat for each

                  With graf you can mix and match anything from 1 to 8 pound increments. They DO charge hazmat but shipping is a flat 7.95 on Bulk orders. And their prices are hard to beat...

                    Do they wait until the entire order can be sent? Seeing that powder availability even to the dealers is spotty, it seems having 2-3 different types would multiply the delay by 2-3x as well.
