Mentioned here and/or a couple of other places, no longer imported into Australia.

If you do find some then it's only a matter of time before that too runs out. Might be time to experiment with an easier powder to obtain.

Perhaps check the ADI powder comparison table.

VV N140 is a Single Base Powder like the ADI Powders but it's between AR2208 and AR2209 so it may take some experimenting with those two to see which provides the best results.

What case are you using the VV140 in? Is it for Benchrest accuracy or just looking for a minute of deer? There are guys getting exceptional accuracy using ADI powders in all sorts of cases, I cannot see that you would be at any disadvantage by switching.
