Alliant powders

[Luvthunt]

Why such a long time shortage of most Alliant powders?

Possible restricted coatings not approved for export on certain powders? Maybe just rumors or an excuse.

I have been seeing more Alliant powder availability at brick and mortar stores, here in the state of Ohio, USA.
Nearly all stores limit one pound or one container (4 or 8 lbs). Last week in North canton, Ohio, at a Fin, Fur and Feather, I saw Reloader 15, 16, 19, 26, maybe also 17. Not huge amounts, but there they were. No 8 pounders in these powders.

I don't know the exact reason but I do know that whenever there is a component shortage Alliant powders are always the most difficult to come by. I moved away from them for that exact reason.

I have been looking for reloader 17 for a while for my .240 WM. If you see it anywhere please send me a PM with store name and I will reach out to them

Will do @Don458

Bought 2 pounds of Power Pro 2000 MR last month from midway USA. Haven’t seen any since then.

Hope it helps. I have a couple more loads using powders with Austrailian designations. PM me if you would like me to provide them.

I was told they diverted all production to factory load ammo customers

Brownells sent out an email today that they had a new shipment of Alliant powders.

 

[TNDave]

I got notification from Brownells that they had RL19 in stock. It had a limit of 2 Pounds and by the time they added hazmat, shipping and taxes it was over $75 a pound! Believe I’ll pass…

[Nhhunter]

Supply train issues. The Reloader line is made in Sweden

 

[Lungshot202]

Haven't seen Alliant RL-16 for all of 2021, other than one or two jugs that get purchased the instant they appear "in stock" on a vendor's website. Haven't seen any of their products anywhere on the shelves, this year, either.

Of course, they're in good company. Most of the powder makers seem to have altered their sales to the local gun shops.
