I stopped at Solomon's on the 22nd. Word was that he had just received a shipment with Red Dot, Promo, Claydot and American Select.

Where are you located Kingsoverqueens?

Mike -- Promo will be just fine for 9mm -- I use it in 9mm, 45acp, 38 special, 38 super, 12 guage and 20 guage shotshell 

 

Promo is a red dot alternative and loaded to the same weights as red dot -- 4.3 grains of red dot is the same as 4.3 grains or promo -- not by volume but weight

 

I can get you plenty of published red dot load data from my older load books

 

Last time I bought promo I bought 4 - 8 pound jugs somewhere around $70 each

When was that?

I bought a couple pounds of W231 at Soloman's on Wednesday. He said that was the only brand of pistol powder he had.

When was that?

Bought from CAC associates back in 2011 maybe 2012 --  haven't needed powder since

 

Why?  What does an 8 pound jug cost now?

I knew that couldn't be recent lol...Double that, even more. 8lb jug CFE Pistol was 175 at Oaks in Dec.

I paid $150 for an 8lb jug of 700X at Sarco last week.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

CAC associates, right now -- 8 pounds promo -- $98.47 -- not saying they have it must email for availability 

 

Powder valley -- $103 -- out of stock

 

Graf's -- $113 -- out of stock

 

Point is -- if solomons has promo it should be the least expensive of powders suitable for handgun reloading

They sold me 2 pounds of W231.  I'd have bought more if they offered but when I asked 2 pounds was the most they'd sell me.  

 

That will keep me OK for a few months anyway.

Nice score! 231 was unobtanium 2 months ago.
