Anyone has any inside info when we might see some Hogdon powders on the shelf ?

That depends on where you look and how often you look. Everything is still hitting the shelves (except Universal Clays), but a lot of it just isn't staying there for long.
 
Lots of titegroup out there. Everyone I know who uses it [and that includes me] has been able to find it. I've seen many others too. I just recieved 16lbs of HP38 too. I've heard rumors of a fire in Australia where they make several powders including Universal and Clays. Don't know if its true or not.
I like Hogdon powders too. I think they are the best and are always a good value.
 
Recob's has Longshot, which I am really developing a liking for. Give it a try if you use some of the slower-burning pistol powders.
 
I just found some H4350 for the 1st time in a year last week. I bought 2 lbs.

This.

The powders seem to barely have enough time to sit squarely on the shelves before they are plucked. Just a few weeks ago I was at a Cabela's and they just happened to be stocking the shelves of powder; there were several people crowded around said shelves, including myself. I was fortunate indeed to have snagged two pounds of Benchmark...
 
Around here most are back....if not, their Winchester/IMR equivalent are.
 
My local reloading store has lots of Hodgdon powders.




No, he doesn't ship.
 
One of the LGSs has a bunch of Hodgdon, IMR, and Winchester powders in stock most of the time. The only one I'm looking for at the moment is H4895. I've been able to find IMR-4064, Clays, H4350, and HP-38 which covers 99% of what I load.
 
Hodgdon powders made in Australia will be unavailable until sometime in 2014 - there was a fire
It only effected the 3 Clays powders and some suppliers are even saying it's only Universal Clays (AP70N in Australia) that's being effected. Nothing else. There's several of Hodgdon/IMR/Win branded powders that are made in Australia still showing up on shelves and websites.
 
Check Midsouth, Wideners, Powder Valley, Midway, Grafs DAILY. Be prepared to buy as soon as you see it in stock and buy at least 8 lbs to make the Hazmat and shipping worthwhile. Hazmat alone is 27.50.
 
Any particular powder(s)?

I see a lot of Hodgdon powders at gun shops. I even scored 2 lbs of Varget and 3 lbs of BL-C2 in the past week.

Now IMR 4895 is a tough one to find...
 
A local shop here in NE Ga had H335, CFE223, HP38, and Varget last Monday. I picked up 8lb of H335. His prices on CFE223 was a little high at $28/lb.
