Default Lil Gun Powder

Have any of you seen any Lil Gun Powder for sale? So far none around here.
I would like to reload some 22 Hornet. I have 400 ballistic tip 33 gr. bullets and some cases and primers but without powder, they are not much good.

I haven't seen any Hodgdon powder for sale for a long, long, time.

I'm really tired of this shortage.

At least around here, Hogdon(as well as Winchester and IMR) powders have been some of the most available in the past few months.

Availability was good enough last week that one local store even had Titegroup and CFE Pistol on sale at 19.99/lb limit 1lb(any powder per person per day) and(from what they told me) a couple hundred pounds of each on hand. At least it was certainly enough that both times I visited last week, they sold probably 3-4lbs over the course of 15 minutes with no signs of running low.

A couple of months ago, I was finding H110/W296 pretty much everywhere I went, although that only lasted for a couple of weeks.

I suppose that, as they say, powder availability really is regional.

As for Lil'gun, I see it on occasion, although I don't pay a lot of attention to it as it's not really a powder I use. I can't say exactly when I last saw some, but I know I've seen it probably in the past 2-3 months.

I haven't seen any Lil'Gun locally for a very long time either. I have less than 2 pounds left and I'm starting to get a little worried. (luckily I do have 6 lbs of W296/H110)
