    I have been trolling the site looking for places near NO to buy handgun powder but I can't find any. I would even even be glad to drive to Baton Rouge to get some. Does anyone have any leads on this? I would prefer unique or bullseye but would take almost anything useful for 38 357 loads.

    I'd also be glad to trade some 22lr ammo (currency of the south) for a pound.
    Thanks

    We have some IMR 4227, which is good for 357 mag loads but not really suitable for the 38 spl. We are looking powder every day, just not having a lot of luck finding it, like everyone else.

    Thanks,

    I use Win 296 for both 357 mag and 44 mag, as well as 30 carbine. Win 296 was readily available at the recent Slidell gun show. I believe there's another gun show in a few weeks at the Mandeville Castine Center. You can Google it to get the exact dates.....

    I use Win 231 for 38 spl, 45 ACP and 380 auto. It was readily available, too, at the gun show in Slidell....

    There is a Gun Show in Gonzales this weekend. The last show they had there were a couple of dealers that had a good selection of rifle powders. I don't load for pistols so not sure what they had for that. I would go early to get the best selection.

    We have CFE Pistol, H110, Winchester 296, and Tite Group on the Fedex truck. It should hit the store on Monday, about 40lbs total. If anyone wants to pick some up shoot us a PM.

    If you rather try Houma before Baton Rouge give Houma Auto Parts a call. They have bullseye every now and then.

    We have Winchester 296, CFE pistol, Alliant 300-MP, H110, and Accurate Nitro 100 NF in large quantities. We'll be at the Gonzales Gun Show this weekend if you would like to buy some.

    I called my son up in Kent, OH and he picked me up 8 pounds of Bullseye for $134.00. They don't have Win 231 but, do have Win Competition pistol powder in 8 pound bottles for $170.00. The guy told him the Win Comp stuff is better and cleaner than 231. I'll probably pick up a couple of bottles of that also when I go back home at the end of this month.

    Thanks for all the comments. I did end up getting a pound of cfe pistol at the Gonzales gun show today. For others going, there was very little pistol powder. Bf, accuate nito, and the sold out cfe I got the last jug of.
