I bought a thou 50 grainers from a member here at the end of Dec.   Now I need some 4198 powder that I haven't been able to find locally.

There still out there, but you either have to wait 2-3 months for them to ship or pay GunBroker prices.
Local gun shop had some last week at $150 for 500 about 3 times what I was paying.
I just signed up at Midsouth and will wait it out.

My powder/primer supplier is also licensed as an ammo manufacturer, and he does manufacture and sell ammo.  I was in his shop yesterday and the latest scuttlebutt for popular .224 bullets like Vmax, Zmax and the 55 grainers  is going to be more like 8-9 months before it's reliably available.  I can't wait to see the prices. :o  ::)

I managed to find some 55gr Noslers in stock back in mid January and received them on Feb. 1st they were only listed as in stock for 2 days. I had been looking for several weeks and have not seen them in stock since.
