Thread: Powder supply

Next ADI powder shipment is planned for October (doesn’t guarantee it will happen then though).
I think I read somewhere that the last shipment only filled about 40% of back orders?

Thanks guys ,its bloody hard to figure out where I am online so this has cleared it up....while I'm online I m looking to reload grandkids 243 and my 7mm08 with one powder any recommendations, was thinking AR2209 but I gather that's beyond gold as well!

It's probably closer to platinum.

Last ADI shipment was almost 12 months late. Don't put a certainty on an October delivery.

As advised, put in a preorder somewhere and order more than you think you will need. They will knock you back if you're gready
Primers should be stocked up on. There are dribbles coming thru but blood curdling prices for the likes of CCI BR2 and BR4.
Even the good alternatives ex Europe like Fiocchi and RWS have virtually disappeared.

Add in a shortage of some dies as well.

Not many powders suitable for both calibres I use AR2206H as my all round powder works well in the .308 case which the .243 and 7mm08 are based on
Winchester has a new powder out that will work in both called StaBALL 6.5 there is a small supply at the Wholesaler your local gunshop should have no trouble
ordering some.

For those cals your probably better with 2208/Varget or 2206H/H4895. 2209 is a slower burning powder more suited to 30-06, 270 etc.
