Got 34s and 41s from Midway this morning, 450s from Brownells yesterday morning, the price is not good when you can only get 1k ends up being 75-100 per 1k after shipping. Powder Valley on the powder I should have 8lbs from them when I get home.

Thanks. I reamed Midway's support on live chat for not being truthful about clearing out product notifications. I should have received emails on both of those but didn't. Even if too late, if I request a notification and your customer support assures customers it will be sent, send it. Don't lie about it.

Yeah, I'm on with support now finding out why some notifications go out and others don't.

Midway Support: "As far as I know, we don't delete notify me requests, but if we do, they are definitely in the system for longer than a few weeks. However, clearing your old requests and recreating them like you did can't hurt, you should get notified when those primers come back in stock." [emphasis added]

Thanks for the tip!

Powder Valley does not offer the email notifications to my knowledge, go back to Midway and Brownells and redo the email notifications for what you are looking for I had to do this recently I think they clean them out from time to time.

I only put them in 2 weeks ago! It took a long time to sign up for them too...:(

LOL!! Brownell's send me a $10 off code for the inconvenience of not being notified. :) I'll take that happily. I don't see a way to update notification requests on Brownell's site so I just went through and requested everything again. Can't hurt. :thumbup:

Well howdy do and thank you, JD! :)

I now have 3 10oz. bottles of Ramshot Competition headed my way. I've never tried it but it should be about like Red Dot or Universal as far as .380ACP or .38Spl loads go. I'll find out!

I've been wanting to try Enforcer but Competition's been on my list of try-it powders for a while, too.

I’m glad he’s getting product even if my efforts haven’t yet been rewarded. And as it turns out we all now know something new: product arrival notifications have a shelf life. Even if the sellers don’t advertise it.
 
I never get the email notifications in time from Midway. When I receive the notice I will immediately check and find they are sold out again.

One trick to finding primers on Midway.... Check the Where are the reloading components thread. If you see any notification there for Midway, check their website and refresh it often. I've found that if they have one style primer listed, another will appear shortly. Almost if they are spacing them out. I was able to get some more SRP 41's yesterday that way.

They are spacing it out so there servers don't crash from the traffic.

My last visit to Jays sporting goods in Gaylord MI, last week, the reloading section was extremely dry, a couple jugs of the IMR "Color" powders, a few die sets and a couple boxes of Hornady bullets. I knew better than to stop for that stiff, but , I was up in the area, so why not. They only got me for $125 this time......a new fish graph gps for my pontoon boat, and yup, a bag of peppermint taffy....
