How old is it?

Good seller. Bought dies from him.

I have scoured the internet looking to try and help. Couldn't find any other places that had it in stock. Cabela's shows you can back order it when I looked. Natchez was out of stock. If what I posted is true, one more month or so and, Retumbo should be starting to fill the shelves. Best of Luck.

Found this on a forum: Hodgdon powder supply « on: January 12, 2020, 05:45:22 PM » From FB via NM posting Hodgdon Powder Supply Update: We just returned from the Big Rock Shooting Sports show held last week in Nashville, where we had a chance to sit down with the folks from Hodgdon (Hodgdon, IMR and Winchester powders.) During 2019 the industry experienced shortages of some of Hodgdon's most popular powders, including Retumbo and H1000, and by the end of the year, Varget. These powders, as well as H4350, are shipped in barrels from Australia. We asked Hodgdon why these shortages occurred, and what we should expect in 2020 ?? Going back to 2017 and early 2018 Hodgdon, and the whole industry were experiencing unusually poor demand. They made substantial government sales in 2017-2018 to soak up what they believed was excess supply at that time. By late 2018 and 2019 demand was picking up again, especially for big case magnum powders. Unfortunately during this same period Hodgdon began experiencing supply problems from Australia. These problems are logistical and not related to production. Australia and steamship lines have new regulations concerning how much powder can be shipped on one vessel, how much powder can be in a container terminal at one time, and the hazard classification of the powder itself. Shipments were delayed and a few were even returned to the producer during 2019 due to these issues. Hodgdon believes they are now ahead of the problems and will have more success shipping the Australian powders in 2020. Some is on the way now, which should make it into distribution by April. Varget, H1000 and H4350 should be back in distribution by April, Retumbo should be available sometime April to June. Thanks for your interest! January 12, 2020 Three Forks Ammo & Reloading

Good to know. Sorry for the bad info.

Millet went to Bushnell as well. Bushnell is purported to have lousy customer service. The Nikon's I have I like, but now the lifetime warranty may be toilet paper. Does that affect value? Bass Pro just had the Nikon P-223 on sale for $99.00, down from $199 list. Lowest I had found them on sale before was $129.99 plus shipping, and that was a great deal back then. So I had purchased 6. I could have save $180 if I had waited a year. This whole Nikon and scope turmoil sucks.

Spraying ammonia near your edibles will help deter all wild life from eating. We chased a javalina boar away by spraying ammonia around his favorite spots.

Rinse the shells well first. Giving them back their shells may promote canibalism. By rinsing the yolk and white out of the egg they are less prone to canibalism. Trimming the end of their beak helps as well.

Big Country Sporting goods shows they have both 1# and 8#. I've never dealt with them. Could be a wild goose chase, I'd call and verify. Just trying to help. https://www.bigcountrysportinggoods.com/hodgdon-powder-company-inc-hodgdon-powder-retumbo-8-ret8/

Shed was approximately 18' x 8'.

My brother taught me to use handyman jacks to lift up sheds slowly and evenly, using blocks and wood as you go to support the shed. Next you slide something with wheels under it and lower the shed down to rest on wheeled object. I lifted a shed with a backhoe and damaged the shed. The second shed we lifted one end a little and then the other, placing blocks as we went, until we were high enough to slip a flatbed trailer underneath. Then slowly lowered each end a little bit at a time removing the necessary blocks each time. No damage to the shed.

Thank you. Super member.

Elk, bobcats, all I get in Mesa are coyotes and bums!

Hens stop laying with shorter days. Leave a light on and they'll keep going or kick back in. Cold, like extreme heat, stresses the bird making it more susceptible to disease and or causing hypothermia and thus death. Good nutrition and clean water are obviously also very important.

Really nice looking coop! Top notch for looks. Mine is an old large outhouse looking thing. Raised a lot of birds, recovered a lot of eggs. Nothing like real (fertilized) eggs with slightly orange yolks.

Isn't Nikon exiting the scope market. Who's going to service their warranty?

Depending on size.

Heat it with a couple of 100 watt light bulbs.

You'll have to insulate and heat for the winter?

And the eggs? Try raising turkeys. Fewer eggs, but they are big, and harder to crack. One Tom and two hens, with you chickens would work.

If I didn't have a couple already, I'd buy it, but I'd change the head.

I think it's really great he is building it for the kids. They are the legacy.😁

Interesting. Some people may be a bit hypocritical. But this all does appear to be harmless fun despite it's obvious lack of usefulness, other than potential entertainment. So much judging. Interesting.....
