Keep in mind there are still powder shortages, probably due in part to Covid, both here and in other countries.

On the Cowboy shooting side, Trailboss is non-existent. While it is sold here in the US by Hodgdon, it is was made in Australia. The company in Australia doesn't expect production to resume until 2024

On the shotgun side, there have been supply issues with Clays, which I've heard is made in Canada. I may have read it here, but I've heard that RST's biggest problem is getting powder.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
