I have an unopened can of wst. Trade you for a lb of Unique or Clays 

Re: Where is the handgun powder?
not sure where your located but check out Big Guy's Shooting Supplies in Pearland (right outside Houston) they have a pretty good supply of powder -- you can email him and he will send a list of what is in stock along with prices

Sorry to revive this, but I am trying to find H335 and looked at this post to see if there were any additional Houston area dealers that I could try.Backfire wrote:I'm in north Texas DFW area. Do they ship from the Pearland store?
On the product page of their website it states that they are not a hazmat shipper. http://www.bigguysshootingsupplies.com

It's definitely not the cheapest place but I've had no problem getting anything I wanted from a gun show. Unless you're buying in volume it's still cheaper than shipping after adding the hazmat fee. YMMV

Re: Where is the handgun powder?
+1. I was at a gunshow a couple of weeks ago in San Antone, and saw three vendors with some pistol powder. They were charging way above normal retail prices. I decided to "bite the bullet" and pay way more than I probably should have for a pound of True Blue for my .45ACP loads.lfinsr wrote:It's definitely not the cheapest place but I've had no problem getting anything I wanted from a gun show.

True Blue is a terrific powder for .45 ACP.trashysquid wrote:... pound of True Blue for my .45ACP loads.

Dad24GreatKids - 10Ring in Houston has had 335 in stock (1#) pretty regularly. Get on their mailing list, they send out notices pretty much weekly. They are near 249/1960 in NW Houston if you are not familiar with them. Great bunch of folks there.

Re: Where is the handgun powder?
You weren't kidding. I rolled 50 using 6.8 grains with Hornady FMJ 230s and got 1" groups at 7 yards. A clean burning, fantastic powder. I hope I can find more of that stuff soon, but I'm not holding my breath...Jumping Frog wrote:True Blue is a terrific powder for .45 ACP.trashysquid wrote:... pound of True Blue for my .45ACP loads.![]()

Re: Where is the handgun powder?
The other Ramshot powders, Zip and Silhouette, also work well. I like that they meter terrifically well, burn cleanly, and are accurate.trashysquid wrote:You weren't kidding.

I've always bought my powders in bulk via mail order, with powdervalleyinc.com being a favorite.
