Long shot I know ....but does anyone know of where I could get hold of some h4381sc doesn't seem to be any of it down in the southwest
 
Have you tried sportsman seeing as your close, or blue fox gun shop Crediton,that supposed to be a well stocked shop.
Failing that,my local gun shop might have some i could bring with me next time I'm passing.
 
Yea mate spoke to all those guys they all said the same thing really about everyone struggling to find some but yea next time your passing by give me a pm and we could sort something out I'm sure :)
 
You will struggle to locate short cut anywhere - I've had two cases on back order for 9 months.

Vit 160 is a good alternative - though similar burn rate it isn't exactly the same so if you do try it, you'd need to work up a load for it again.
 
There is no H4831 available in UK dealers - none has arrived here from Hodgdon for a year and none will arrive this year, very likely during much or even all of 2015. That applies to all Hodgdon powders manufactured by Thales / ADI in Mulwala, New South Wales due to severe sea transport problems. That's H4198, H322, Benchmark, H4895, VarGet, H4350, H4831/4831sc, H1000, Retumbo and H50BMG under the Hodgdon name plus IMR-8208 XBR in the IMR range.

Hodgdon ball technology powders (manufactured in the USA) will continue to be supplied: BL-C(2), H335, CFE223, H100V, H414, H380, LEVERevolution, SUPERFORMANCE.

Also, Hodgdon is trying to make up the shortfall in the ADI powders by substituting Canadian manufactured IMR grades wherever possible: IMR-4227, 4198, 3031, 4064, 4895, 4320, 4350, 4831, 7828/7828SSC.

Possible alternatives to H4831SC include Viht N160 (considerably faster burning), N560, N165; IMR-4831 (faster burning, NOT a straight substitute); Ramshot Hunter and Magnum, Lovex SO71, Hodgdon SUPERFORMANCE, Nitrochemie 'Reload Swiss' RS70 (due along with other Nitrochemie powders to be launched in the UK late this year).
