I am looking for a large quantity of either GM3,Vectan As or N320.
Peter Lawman,who I usually use,has packed in.
Waiting to hear back from HPS on the N320.
Incidentally the N3xx series is available in 2KG tubs in europe at quite a saving over the 0.5kg tubs.
I cant understand why some of the more popular US powders arent available in 8lb jugs.
PM me if you can help me.

I get GM3 from Neil Jones Shooting. I think he is near Cannock but doesn't post it. I collect it at Bisley. If Peter Lawman has gone then you may struggle for Vectan.

Mike, how much does he charge?, the GM3 I got from Peter Lawman last year was £36.95/Kg, his website still lists it at that price.

SOME Viht rifle powders ARE sold to trade buyers in 3.5kg tubs and 20kg drums, but ONLY for later decanting into 1kg or smaller units for retail customers.
Remember that it is not too long ago that the personal limit on powder for homeloaders was tripled from 5kg to 15kg...so sometimes things DO move in more positive directions

I bought a 3.5Kg tub of Viht N140 from HPS target rifles in 2011

£20 per lb I think. Of course there is no postage. Vectan was near enough the same but there was carriage plus the hassle of getting the bloody stuff.
