    Vhit N540 availability Gloucestershire area

    Gent's

    Can anyone give me some leads on where around Gloucestershire or neighbouring counties might stock Vhit N540?

    I did speak to Dauntsey guns but they currently have issues with flooding so are unable to get to their stock and I had hoped to do some initial test loads for my 6.5x47.
    If I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have been bottle feed

    I was in there last week and yesterday, everything fine- that'll be their basement flooded I guess, presumably with all that rain we had overnight. A lot of stock potentially knackered then from what I saw.

    Speak to HPS - http://hps-tr.com/ . They'll almost certainly have plenty (and are about £7/kilo cheaper than dauntsey for single base Viht powders).

    Cheers zanes, I have spoken to HPS and they have plenty in stock so I will pop in there on Friday. Yes from what I understand its the cellar that has flooded and deep enough for them not too want to paddle over to the powder store.

    Ouch- that'll be an insurance claim and a half.

    From when I was down there last week, I reckon potentially several grand retail of PRIMERS alone

    Someone in our village reckoned we had an inch overnight on Tuesday.
