I used several pounds of Vectan powders in the past couple years because I got it for a good price from a local shop. I used D20 for a bunch of 16ga sporting loads and it worked very well and shot clean. The shop offered it to me at a good price because he had ordered a case of it and nobody was interested in trying a new powder. |

I see where its teasonable price if you dont have to pay hasment fees. Wish i was still flying. I used to take 4 to 6 of us and split the cost of fuel ad go to gun shops.We would load up and head home with our goodies. Ahhh the good old days. |

This is my take......good powder......BUT
It doesn't look like Graf's is going to reorder it.
If this were me, I wouldn't get too invested in Vectan powder. Yeah it's good but it doesn't do anything that the rest of the powders don't do. I have reloaded for the 16 since 1987 and not once did I ever need Vectan powder. |

Could any of you guys here spare a couple hundred small rifle primers.
I know this request is unusual but would like to sight my 223 bolt in and small rifle promers a dang hard to get. Just asking. |
