I buy my orange 550 mil-spec paracord from Countycomm.com. They have 550 orange, grey, and black (and maybe white). Prices are good too.

I'm looking for type IV paracord, the 750lb breaking strength type... not the usual 550.

I've looked on ebay, and all the usual places that sell paracord, but nothing so far. Anyone have any ideas where to get it?

Hmm, I had to Google your request because I didn't know there were other classifications of paracord. Very interesting. Thanks for pointing that out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

I do know of a source for high strength non-stretch spectra cord (1400 lb). It's definitely not the same thing as paracord but it's more like a "steel fabric" cord in some ways. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/aircore_pro_ursa_bear_bag_hanging_rope.html

You should be able to get the IV paracord here at

http://www.johnhowardcompany.com/Nylon%20Cord%20with%20Core.html

but you may have to email them for pricing details or online suppliers.
