Powder from Midway?

[nubrun]

Honestly I have given up on Midway. Powder is available though, I have gotten 65 lbs (yes thats right, I checked) within the last 2 months and most has arrived within 1 week of time of order. The best retailers that I have found are:

third generation shooting supply
Gamaliel shooting supply
powder valley

I also have 10k primers on the way from powder valley. You just have to check in with these places everyday around 10am PST.

Oh and for those social media types, liking their facebook is good idea because they have been posting notices about when to check on there.

By the way - Anyone shooting Nosler Custom Comps in 155gr? Mudway has them in stock. I have a bunch on hand but grabbed 2 more boxes anyway. They do great in my '06 & I'll be trying them in my .308 this weekend.
I hope. If the rain stops long enough....

I picked up about 500 of them a while back but haven't got to try them out yet. How do they compare to the SMK's?

To be honest.... They're almost identical in my '06. 4/10th gr. difference in the load to punch tight clovers at 100yds. 3 weeks ago I had a raggedy hole with 5 rounds. I recently started using Sierra products since I had trouble finding Nosler. My local guy has a pretty diverse selection so - I gave them a try.
All of them - MK's, GK's, HPBT's - all work great in my .243, 25.06, .308 & 30.06.I wish I had discovered them long ago. I could have saved a bunch 'o bucks.
As much as I like Nosler products, I like to save money, too. THe difference between Hornady or Sierra & Nosler is worthy of note.

18 weeks!?!?!?
You could have walked to the factory & waited for some to be made. I, for one, will benefit from this info. I was considering putting in a powder order thru Midway.
I think I'll wait & see if my local guy scores anything.

I'd cancel but I paid with a gift card and I can't find that card so they can put the money back on it. I've also heard if you cancel, they will only give you credit with midway dollars.

Did a couple live chat's there's another guy with my name and Zip code that also has a Midway account, Makes me wonder, I finally got an email last night at 11.45 pm that my powder has shipped! Hope they screw up and give me the Varget!

Thanks for the heads up on Third Generation Shooting Supply.

They had just what I needed in stock and at a good price. I hope their shipping works well.

I have been looking all over for the bullets I wanted.

I order A Lot of stuff from Midway, their shipping methods are always second to none for me. However, I've never ordered powder from them. It always seems a little high on the $$$$

I order all my powder from Mid South Shooters Supply Right now at Midway Varget is 174.00 and Mid South has it for 151.00

And that is what I paid for my last 8 lb'er of Varget ;-)

[DanSavage]

I finally received my powder today! Ordered it 2/22/13.

[fgw_in_fla]

That's go to be some kind of record on slow shipping.
By now I would have forgot what I bought it for.

You still do own the guns you bought it for, don't you?...

[DanSavage]

Now I'm waiting for the barrel. I'm at 10 weeks now and was quoted 10-12 weeks, it's a .308 Shilen select match S8.

Glad you finally got your order. Im at 7 mos waiting on my bbl so far.

Thanks 5spd,

7 months? I hope your not waiting on a shilen, I heard Kreiger had a lead time of about 8 Months.

I ordered powder from Graf & Sons. Off their shelf to my door in less than two weeks. Under special delivery instructions, I requested delivery after three pm - it worked out great.

I need to order some powder for a hopeful PD trip this fall, I think I am going to give powder valley a shot!
