In this thread last month, several users suggested a number of sources.

I ended up going with PowderInc. They were fine.

Just purchased Goex from Buffalo Arms.

Just received some more Swiss 3F from Graf & Sons earlier this week. Looked like most powders were in stock but I didn’t check them all. However, the price for Swiss had gone up $5 a pound since my last order.

But yes, check with Graf or Powder Inc.

Primers will be hit and miss for sure. But you can make your own.

I think "Track of the wolf" still had some. Can't remember the brand name

Isn't TOW the place where you have to have a minimum order of 25lbs?

At PowderInc, I did mix and match to get better pricing for 10lbs, but even that was a lot for me.

In Europe, I had to meet some guy in a restaurant parking lot to buy two kilos of Swiss BP. Actually, he was being very helpful, otherwise we would both have had to drive an hour further to his club shop in Prague - a beautiful city but far worse than Bangkok or Manila for driving.

Just a short look at your posting history shows that you are current, and no stranger to shortages.
So ya, it has been tough locally for a long time, but it has improved near my tree
How is it where your at?.

This is from Powder Valleys web site. They got a restock of BP in early Jan., Shuetzen 3F sold out in about a week and Swiss is gone or almost gone. Goex is still in stock for $28 along with Shuetzen 2F for $23. I know Hodgen is raising their prices no sure about the European black powder. Carry on.

Best bet on caps is hitting local Walmarts starting in early August. Right now ? It's going to take a lot of stars lining up. Good luck.

Good Morning to all.
I know this doesn't help many, but may help a few...
If you live in Florida, Buffalo Bills Shooting Supplies in Sanford has Goex, Shuetzen, and I believe Swiss.
They also CCI #10s, #11s, and #11 magnums... $36.00 a pound.
$21.00 per 100 on caps...

Take Care Stay Safe
