Default Found Stock of Alliant Powder

I was visiting my parents in a small city in Saskatchewan, and walked into the Home Hardware, only to discover the best supply of powder that I have seen in quite some time. I purchased two pounds of R-22, and they also had R-17, and R-10, as well as a good supply of most other powders, with the exception of Varget. Of all places, I really didn't to find this kind of selection in a Home Hardware. Then when checking out the Wholesale Sports in Saskatoon, I found a flat of 410 target loads, after not finding any in Alberta.

The nuggets are laying around in many places you do not expect.

The key is to pick up those nuggets when you find them. I have 18 flats of shotshells in my car, for the trip home. If I had my truck, I would have taken more.

Found a good store with great people. Provost Hardware in Provost Ab. Bought the last of the Varget but still lots of most powders. Best price anywhere. Way better than BP or Wholesale.

Another fine reason to own nothing (by way of vehicles) but a Truck!

That's quite a find Sir. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this information here with us. Thanks too to others amongst us who have provided additional details/places to look.
