Plan on doing that as soon as my Nitro stock gets low.

Powder is difficult to find for both shotgun and rifle. I bought a box of 25 rounds last year. Hopefully next year powder will be easier to find.

I've been trying to order/find some 20ga #7's but I'm not having much luck

I just received 10 sample rounds to pattern because the 510C i previously shot can't be loaded.  The powder is no longer available for that load and they sent me a some rounds to experiment with.

I think they are concerned about business due to powder availability.  I hope they are able to find some substitutes and develop some new rounds.

Just ordered some 4-5-7 in 3 and 1/2 inch and also some straight 6 in 3 1/2 inch both in hevi shot from them,  told me it would be 3 weeks to get here not bad for them

Hey Brian,

As you know, powder was in short supply due to the largest plant in Australia going "off line" due to an explosion. Many small loaders did not get any powder and everyone was on an allocation. That situation has eased and major loaders now can get powder in most types. Smaller loaders are still having problems and some have tried to substitute powders with "not so good" results. You know what I mean by that.

High quality shot has also been at times difficult to get. Tungsten-based shot is much more expensive and unless you produce your own, like EM, and have to import it, very, very expensive, even if you can get it. High quality lead shot has also been tough to get in quantity.

Ammo from major suppliers should be easier to get in the next few months but custom loaders may face an uphill battle for some time to come.

Thanks,
Clark
