Want to try some buffalo rifle powder but everyone seems to be out of it. Anyone know a distributor who has some? TIA

I don't have a good answer for you, BUT,,,it is a coincidence that you mention this. I got my Natchez catalog yesterday (or the day before?) and I thumbed through it today, and to my surprise, they listed prices with all there powders. I think it's been 4 years since they included powder prices in their paper flyers. Anyway, I looked for Shooters World powders, since I've been wanting to score a bottle of Buffalo Rifle as well, cuz I heard it's usually priced cheaper than it's fancy dressed popular step-sister (IMR 5744). SURPRISE ! Natchez listed Buffalo Rifle at $47 a lb. ...most of the other SW powders were $31 a lb. I guess they are taking lessens from Hodgdon.
.
so anyway, I just checked the website...no Buffalo Rifle in stock.

My local Scheels HAD some 5744 the other day. Took advantage of the 15% sale they had.
Lol, so did I. Saw Scheels' 15% off all powders sale and took my cousin with me. Drove 60 miles and bought 4 lbs of Tactical rifle, 3 lbs of clean shot and the last lb of Match rifle. Cousin bought 4 lbs of AR Plus and 3 lbs of Match rifle. With the 5% veteran discount we got all for $22.39 /lb. + tax. So I'm good to go for pistol and 556 and .308. for maybe rest of my old life. I felt good all day that day. It was black friday to boot.
