Powder Valley Outdoors Resumes Business After Warehouse Fire

Powder Valley Outdoors (“Powder Valley”) is one of the leading reloading component and shooting supplies vendors in the country. Powder Valley has also been a strong supporter of AccurateShooter.com for over a decade. However, as you may have heard, Powder Valley suffered a warehouse fire recently. Thankfully no one was injured and Powder Valley is now fulfilling orders for customers.

Powder Valley is making great progress after the warehouse fire. The company now has a variety of products back in stock — powder, primers, brass, bullets, and more — and Powder Valley is fulfilling orders through trusted industry partners while Powder Valley gets its own warehouse back up and running. Orders can be placed now through the Powder Valley website. The staff at Powder Valley tells us: “Powder Valley would like to say thank you to the entire community for their incredible support and prayers through this time.” To support Powder Valley and place an order, visit PowderValley.com.

Powder Valley: Rising from the Ashes

When a devastating fire tore through Powder Valley’s main warehouse and offices, the loss was total. Everything melted, burned, and destroyed. But through it all, the Powder Valley team is standing strong — grateful that everyone is safe and determined to come back better than ever.

Kim and Kort from Customer Service worked to make sure orders and support didn’t stop. Jacob, laptop in hand, quickly transitioned to remote operations. Beau jumped in to handle inventory assessments in what was left of the office area. Owners Bryan and Noel Richardson also stepped forward, sharing their story with local news outlets about the impact of the fire and what Powder Valley means to their family and community.

The damage to the facility was extreme, and while Powder Valley is insured, dealing with insurance will take time. In the meantime, the company has partnered with trusted industry allies to fulfill orders, ensuring customers can still get what they need while keeping revenue flowing to sustain operations.

“Right now, working with industry partners was the fastest way to get back up and running,” the team explained. “It allows us to continue serving our customers and keep business moving while we navigate insurance and begin planning for our long-term home.”

But the Richardson family and the entire Powder Valley team are unwavering in their commitment to the shooting sports community. “We’re going to get up and we’re going to keep swinging. We’re going to keep swinging”, Bryan said.

For now, every order placed with Powder Valley helps keep the lights on and supports the rebuild. And the company couldn’t be more grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support from shooters and reloaders across the country. “This incredible community has given us strength and optimism to keep forging ahead,” the team shared. “From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.”

IMR 8208 XBR Powder Now Available at Powder Valley Outdoors

powder valley imr 8208 xbr powder sale

powder valley imr 8208 xbr powderIMR 8208 XBR powder is a great propellent that has shown superb consistency, delivering great accuracy and low ES/SD in our testing. We have used this powder with success in .308 Win and other cartridges. The burn rate is slightly slower than Vihtavuori N133 and a bit faster than Hodgdon H4895. IMR 8208 XBR is suitable for many cartridge types including .204 Ruger, 22 BR, .223 Rem, 6 PPC, 6BR (lighter bullets), and .308 Winchester. It works great for varmint hunting loads as well as benchrest competition.

IMR 8208 XBR has been exceedingly difficult to obtain in the last year or so, but that has changed. Currently Powder Valley Outdoors has IMR 8208 XBR one-pounders in stock at $54.99. Sorry, 8-pounders are not available at this time.

If Powder Valley sells out, Natchez Shooting & Outdoors also has some IMR 8208 XBR one-pounders in stock. Current price is $51.69 (one-pound). Also Brownell’s has 8208 XBR one-pounders in stock for $55.99. NOTE: Neither Natchez nor Brownells have the 8-lb jugs of IMR 8208 XBR.

Stellar Accuracy and Exceptional Temperature Insensitivity
Field testing has shown that IMR XBR 8208 is extremely stable across a very wide temperature range. At SHOT Show 2010, we interviewed Chris Hodgdon, who gave us the “inside story” on this IMR powder. Chris shared lab test results showing how load pressure varied with ambient temperature. The data was stunning. Basically 8208 XBR showed almost constant pressures from below freezing to well over 100° F. This editor has personally never seen a powder test that revealed “flat-line” results like 8208 XBR, with recorded pressures remaining virtually unchanged over a huge temperature range. And IMR 8208 XBR has been used with great success in benchrest competition by Lou Murdica and others. When you combine its temp stability with such proven accuracy, IMR 8208 XBR is indeed a very exceptional powder.
