I only get (289) 222 Rem Mag loads per pound, but I should be set for a few years now.

That's what I like about the 22 Hornet, pretty stingy on the powder. 500 per pound, +/-. These days it's certainly food for thought.

Mike,

Yes, and that is why I have strongly advocated that you join the HOA (Hornet Owners Association)! I actually get (560) rounds per pound for the 22 Hornet... 12.5 grains of Hodgdon Lil Gun per ctg.  That said, neither of my K-Hornets are quite as stingy, and (500) rounds per pound is about all that I can get out of 1-lb.

I try to buy Lil Gun, Bullseye, and I4198 in as large of a quantity per container as possible.

Bert,  Just like yesterday, only IMR 3031 in stock.  Won't even list IMR 4198 as "out of stock".  Had you had it on back order?  Tim
  

Tim,
No I did not have it on back order. I simply ordered it online and they delivered it.  I do have an account with them though.

Apparently would have been a good day to invest in a Lottery ticket.

If all works out, I will have 10.2 lbs of IMR 4198 and 2 lbs of H4198 in my powder locker by the end of this month

Thanks, Mark!  Tim
  

Yes indeed, Thanks!

I just ordered the 8-lb jug of IMR 4198... now to see how long it takes to get delivered.  My only hope is that it will be enough (added to the 2.2 lbs I still have) to get me through the remainder of my reloading projects.  In total, it will bring my inventory up to 12.2 lbs of 4198.

I checked the AmmoSeek website this morning.  There are links to companies with both H4198 and IMR4198 advertised.  Like all powders these days, they aren't cheap, but they appear to have them in stock and ready to order.

I am definitely not the end all on powders, but have checked all the usual places for IMR 4198 or H-4198 with no success.  Looking to help out a friend to whom I reluctantly sold some several years back.  Lowered my supply and held him for a few years.  Currently I only see a few IMR powders even available.  I won't comment on affordability tho!  Those are seemingly only available in 1 lb cans, with no 8 pounders available for a couple of years.  Seems I also can not back order which is a disturbing sign.  My small stash of H-4198 is my strategic reserve.  I've used it before with no known problems.  It has now been a few years since new stocks of 4198 has been out, so maybe soon we will have new powder hitting the wholesalers?  Tim
  

Tim,

I just bought (2) 1-lb bottles of H4198 from Natchez Shooters Supply.  I ordered it last week and it was delivered yesterday.
