Reloading supplies
Posted: 04 Jun 2020 09:56
Found out some interesting information last Tuesday. Went to the Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, WA) to do some shopping and stopped in a couple of the bigger gun places to look for powder. Mainly looking for Power Pistol, AA#7 or (now) Hodgdon 800x, any one of them. Nope, nadda. While talking to the manager of the gun selling part (in one of them) he told me the State had come into the store back a while and told them they had to much powder on hand and had to "reduce" their inventory. I do not recall the amount (in pounds) they could not exceed but when they (State agency, whoever that is) went nuts when they saw what was in the back storage. He also told me that in Washington state it was "illegal" to sell 8lb containers of any powder. When I told him I had more powder in MY powder locker than he had on his shelf (and I do) he said don't let the "State" find out, you'll be fined and the powder confiscated.... 
%@*&$....... 
There was more to the conversation but that was the jist of it. True or false I have no idea, but I do know that store USED to carry a lot of powder, a bit expensive but they had pretty much anything you wanted.

Yup, 100% correct.
