Some of you are pretty darned quick. I just got an email from American Reloading with powder available, including a few that would be good for .223 & .308. I opened up the website, showing five 8-lb containers stock, added a couple to the cart, entered my credit card info and "submit order". Probably took all of 30 seconds. In that time, someone had snagged all of them.
Got to be quick. |

It was all sold out when I saw the email and I only had the email for 9 minutes. I can't complain, I am currently waiting for FedEx to show up so I can sign for my last powder order. Now if they would only hurry up so I don't waste the entire day.

I got my powder order in while they were halfway through uploading new powders and before I got the e-mail. Just lucky for once.

In that time, someone had snagged all of them. Got to be quick. If you really want to be successful, you should be looking at the website before new things are added each day. Their timing is somewhat predictable, typically 1:45-2PM central time. Look at email alert timing for the last few weeks. Subtract 10-15 minutes. Then start looking and refreshing each minute or so and do that day after day until you find the precious (powder) in stock. I had 2 selected powders, 3 jugs total, on order minutes before the email went out this afternoon. You could do the same. |

I’m never fast enough to get the 223/308 powder. By the time the email is out it’s OOS

By the time the email is out it’s OOS Yeah, I was actually a little surprised it was still showing in stock when I looked. I saw the email come in and opened the website immediately. But not fast enough on the order. My experience is usually more like what you described. Log in and it’s already gone. |

I was able to snag 8# of the StaBALL Match equivalent. Clicked the moment I got the email. Even dinked around for a minute or so seeing if I wanted to get something else.

I got to the website in time but missed it while hemming and hawing on whether to get that or wait to see if TAC or 2520 might come in stock.  I assume StaBall Match is GTG for most bullet weights in 223 and 308? |

I assume StaBall Match is GTG for most bullet weights in 223 and 308? This powder burn-rate chart from the Hodgdon site places it next to BLC-2 which is a versatile powder for 223/308. These charts are subjective, but they can give an idea of where different powders might be a good fit depending on the cartridge and bullet weight. Today, I used one like it to quickly decide that the "similar to CFE 223" MP 525 powder should work for heavier 223 and medium 308 loads. I saw similar to AA2230 and AA2460 powders pop up just as the email was sent, but they were gone very quickly plus I'd already completed the CFE 223 buy. https://hodgdonpowderco.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-Smokeless-Relative-Burn-Rate-Chart-WEBSITE.pdf |
