Well, you got my hopes up for a couple of minutes. I've got plenty of 133 but have been stalking PV for Bullseye, Unique and WW 231 for months to no avail. They haven't shown much powder available of any kind for quite some time. I guess they stay afloat selling other components.
I talked with the woman on the order site. The powder goes out as fast as it comes in. Still filling back orders.
what may be left over will be on the web site Now and then some others show up but gets scooped up by people waiting and watching their site.
To be fair I think they are doing the best they can considering all things. Remember an awful lot of the powders is made overseas.

OK, I just checked again and the Powder Valley opening page still says that they are not accepting back orders. Because of that I have not attempted to place an order for anything showing "out of stock". I guess you end up sucking hind tit when you play by the rules.
They still haven't caught up from my understanding. She called me about some powder I had backorder way back in early January.
The powders are coming slow from what I see. Check other sites like Graff and Sinclair also Mid south, Midway etc
Sometimes they have what you need

Well, that "not accepting backorders" policy was placed in effect in January of 2013, over a year ago. So they're still trying to work off orders over a year old? Seems unlikely, but I guess it could be true. I've never called them to order because the powder I want is never listed as "in stock". So calling in to place an order for powder not "in stock" would be asking for a back order which they say they're not accepting.
Decided to call PV and they confirmed that orders have to be entered through the web site and no back orders are accepted. This can get ugly when you try to amortize the hazmat fees. Suppose you can only get one container of powder, that'll make it much more expensive or you go without.

That's true about 1 year ago but that changed and that was started again .
They accepted back orders after getting caught up. The reinstated them again after they found out that the supply was having problems again.
From time to time last year they had small supplies of Hodgdon powders in the 1 lb cans.
What seems to be around more often is the Canadian powders. Right now the 133 is back n stock. I check all of the sites daily.
I've noticed prices going up all of the time and supplies running out , or not available.
Its a bad situation all around for us.
JUst so you know Sierra I having a hard time making enough bullets for it customers. I think its across the industry.
supplies are tight. Most are saying the same thing Demand is way past capacity.
That 133 has been off the market for quite some time , now it's back that should help fill some gaps. Lets just hope it's just as good as the older powder.
