    I had 2 lbs each of 300mp and RL26 turn up at the shop today. If it doesn't go off for some reason I should never have to buy anymore for quite a few years.

    This is the one I tend to use

    Powder equivalents - ADI World Class Powders and Ammunition

    Even different batches of the same powder can have pretty significant changes. Speak to any fullbore shooter and they will tell you about batch differences in 2208.

    In my experience Hodgdon seems to have slightly less variation compared to ADI.

    I got the last 500g from reloaders for 2209 - yes like fairy dust...
    I believe there is one left at Gun City on the North Shore in the whole of GC too.
