Winchester 231

Clean Shot

HP38

Solo 1000

 

All of these are from scarce to unavailable lately except Clean Shot. Scarlett has had that recently.

 

I noticed that 231 is available at Midsouth Shooter’s Supply.

HP 38 and Win 231 are available at various places including Powder Valley ($289/8lb + shipping + HazMat).

 

Clean Shot thru Scarlett and some other places.

 

Forget about Solo 1000 unless it's old stock

2nd that on CleanShot. I use it for my 38's and I know of a few cowboys using it in their 45's. Once I run out of Clay Dot for shotgun I will be switching over to Clean Shot since it is available. I just pick it up when I go to a match like Land Run that Scarlett is going to be attending

We started out with Green Dot and had good results. Don’t know how available it is.

Talked to a friend yesterday at a match that recently had a conversation with an Alliant Factory Rep. Rep stated that all of Alliant's resources have been focused on fulfilling a massive government contract.

Until the government requirements were satisfied, Alliant would not be making any smokeless gun powder for the commercial market.

Many unobtainable powders meet the OP's description.  Hodgdon's Tight Group is available and can be loaded in 45 Colts with lead bullets and also into 12-gauge shotgun shells.  However, I prefer Perfect Pattern for lightly loaded shotgun shells.  Alliant announced months ago it could not fulfill future orders.  We are fortunate that there is some smokeless powder available to handloaders.

ive always shot clays or red dot - mostly the latter , im going to shoot a lot of clays soon as im running out of red dot and i have a lot of clays , but ive also shot 700x with great results , i know a lit of powders are hard to find and some near impossible or cost prohibitive , but most every shotfun powder isgreat for your handgun and pistol caliber rifle ammo , 

 

i load the exact same loads for my 45 colt revolvers as my rifle - its more about getting the OAL correct to feed in the rifle , they all feed in the revolver , all use a shotgun powder that i can load for that as well , been loading red dot for years , the clays will interchange easily for the same , i have enough to outlive me [at my age] and its great powder , no matter what anyone might say , still in sealed containers ,

I am told that Promo is the replacement for Red Dot, and Power Pistol is the replacement for Unique.

Both are new designs, burn cleaner, etc, etc and similar burn rates.

Thanks everyone. Will let him know.

He likes red dot. He will probably look for Promo Powder.

Gun Shows in our area are starting. I should say Flee Markert.

Not a lot of Firearms in them anymore.
