Got hp-38 from both Gamaliel & Powder valley in the last month. Many winchester powders have been coming in stock at the local Cabelas as well, usually on Fridays..
HP-38 and W-231 are the same powder. Hodgdon has announced it and it can be seen in reloading published data (all numbers are the same, i.e. max, min, velocities, etc.). I would, if I were you, look for some of this as well or as a replacement. HP-38 is generally cheaper than W-231 even though, in modern production, they are the exact same powder.
I tend to find HP-38 more frequently than W-231 and made the switch from bottle labels. I have been finding a decent supply locally and bought enough to last me a while during my last purchase. I paid $18.95/lb in 1lb quantities (no bigger jugs available.)
During a shortage, W231 seems to be the first powder to disappear. That shows how popular it is. You can find loads for almost any handgun cartridge, from 25 ACP to 44 Mag.
Why pay more money for the Winchester label? HP-38 is usually cheaper by a few dollars per pound. I understand if it's all you can find. But I look for Hodgdon labeled first.
I have the opposite problem, my lgs has 296 and 231 but none of the Hodgdon powders that I use.
They get it in once in a while but I always seem to be a date late. I'll have to have them set me back a couple jugs of it, but I know it will be a while.
But they do have all the Alliant powders I use so I'm very thankful for that.
Thanks guys for your responses. I've got 4 lbs "on order". It'll take me awhile to shoot through all of that. As soon as I buy some HP-38, then the order will arrive!
LGS got some about a month ago.
He got about 20-25 lbs of the stuff in. So I bought one pound and suppose to get more. Surprisingly, There is still a bunch left there.
