A local RFD has plenty of H4198 in stock, but of course, he's nowhere near you.

I’m pretty sure it isn’t being imported anymore for some safety reason. There are a few other specific powders available for reloading. Not sure about V 133, have you tried google?

 

If you can find a RFD that has it, maybe they would post it up to your local RFD?

Its well worth the drive for a couple of tubs (and how long that will last him? ) compared to the time and effort that will be  wasted starting all over from scratch Caernarfon to R-C-T is not that far. One A road virtually all the way. I've driven further for things

I agree Vince. I also think it could be worth paying the £25 (I think) delivery charge.
