Looking for 8208XBR to purchase - OneEyeDog - 02-15-2020
Hello all, I've searched all I could but I haven't found any online store that has 8208 XBR. I even reached out to IMR and this their reply
" We have been out of IMr8208XBR for several months. There is supposed to be some coming in in Late Feb. or early March but I do not know the exact date it will be shipped to distributors. I know of no location which has some on hand.
Mike Daly"
Has anyone seen it in stock somewhere?
Thanks

The last time I got some IMR8208XBR was last summer. I believe believe it was around $27 per pound. Natchezs was having an end of summer special for free shipping and no hazard fee on orders over $200.I pitched in with some buddies. I only got 2 pounds.I wish I got more because after I ran out ,I haven’t been able to find any. Bass pro shops had it locally for a while but I have not been able to find it anywhere for the last few months. Been using H335. Academy has cases of that for $25 a pound.
Just go on a Natchezs and put 8208 on your wish list .They will let you know when it’s in.

Yeah, definitely. I know of stores that have it but they won't ship it. I guess it's against the law to ship without some govt lic. Thanks.

Last Fall, I stopped at one of our local gun shows and a reloading supplier was there but had no XBR on display. I asked them if they had any and they said yea....we brought some but we don't have it out. I bought three lbs off of them and they said they normally don't move much of it.
So....go to a show and ask the powder people if they have some. You just may find they do.
I paid 26 bucks per lb plus our PA sales tax of 6%. Much cheaper than ordering it online and paying tax plus a shipping fee and a hazmat fee. Regardless, they had it and with what I had to begin with, I'm set for quite a while. And two of the three had the same lot number as what I already had.

Following this closely.
The next horde member that finds any XBR, please post it here.
There are some of us that are hurting.

If it wasn't such a pain in the butt to ship it. I would trade you 2 unopened 1lb bottles of ppv for something else.

Shipping is a BIG PIA for smokeless powders. Unless you are trained to ship hazardous materials/dangerous goods per DOT, (ground), you legally can't ship the materials to a buddy or buyer through a parcel service "yourself".
I ship hazmat every working day and each year, the rules get tougher. You must be trained and prove your certification to the parcel carrier before you can offer a dangerous good into commerce.
So..............if you can't find powders locally or at local gun shows, you are going to have to pay the up-charges from an online reloading supplier to have them ship it to you, unfortunately.
I missed the most recent local show in my Pennsylvania area this weekend. (Bloomsburg, PA). Next show isn't until April near me but I am GtG with powders at the moment. Primers as well.

Bass Pro website says it will be available to ship March 11th. They last had 8208 in October, I bought 4lbs. Follow Powder Valley on Facebook too. They announce when new powder arrives. They?ll be cheaper but will not receive the quantity that Bass Pro will
