Yeah, seems like any time I stop by FF (or anywhere else that theoretically carries powder), the shelves are bare, or at least bare of what I need. If anybody knows where I can pick up *any* of the following powders, I'd appreciate a heads up, as I'm down to about 1/3 of a pound and USPSA season is coming up soon. Basically, I'm looking for anything that's appropriate for loading to minor power factor in 9mm with 124 grain plated bullets. First choice based on what I've been reading over the last year or so would be Alliant e3, but VV N320, N330, Win231/HP38, SR7625, Unique, Accurate #5, WST, and Titegroup would all be acceptable.
Last time I was at Wolf's Den, they had some PB, but the load data I've read for that seems to indicate I'd have to be at or above listed max charge weight in order to achieve minor power factor with 124 grain bullets, which is not something I'm comfortable with. (Ideally, I'd like to be at 1050+ FPS/130 PF in order to have at least a little bit of cushion.)
