I’m done with Alliant

[Kracken McGraw]

Just saw $74.99 for 1# of H4350 @ academy sports. Lol. That's a hard NO

I got some Accurate 2700 coming from Brownell’s sale for$28.92 delivered. I figure it will work at some point.

I have been searching for n140 lately, no luck. with everyone switching to vv it will become impossible to find and this will drive prices up like the others. I am afraid we are our worst enemy.

Whidden has N140 and N150 8# in stock for $272.99

 

[Hudge76]

Ramshot and VV here due to price. Ramshot went up recently too.

Ramshot is a Hodgdon product as well.

Thanks for that tip Torsten. They've got a bunch of VV powders in stock cheaper than anywhere I've seen so far. VV will be getting my business from here on out. Choke on your powder Alliant!

How come when Laurie Splains Sumthin it always seems to makes good sense?

 

[SteveOak]

As long as theirs conflicts around the world the powder situation won't get any better.
Why would they spend the money and resources to bottle up 1lb or 8lb containers
when you could sell pallet loads to governments, plus a lot of them have contracts
that have to be fulfilled first.
Alliant or the parent company doesn't give a rats ass about us.
Same with bullets, primers and brass.
That's why you see more Hornady bullets and Vihtavuori powder and others. Guessing they never
signed on to government contracts.
It's better than it was a year or two ago. If a couple of bottles of power came up it
would be gone in seconds.
Look at Berger bullets, you can get quite a few different ones now.

Both Hornady and VihtaVuori have government contracts.

Well……because Laurie is one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen on the planet! We’re lucky to have him!

Stop it.

We certainly are. When I read his posts I can almost hear that English ( James Bond) accent.

.............. I'm afraid not as I'm a lowland Scot, albeit an expat in northern England. So, the only Bond I might sound a little like would be the original version, Sean Connery.

 

[joshb]

Well….Sean Connery was the best Bond EVER!. Scots are great! I married one. Sometimes regret it when her temper is aimed at me! She’s of the McElvain Clan. Isle of Skye.

That's the one. The best of all the Bond's.

If you would of invested your money in reloading supplies 3 years ago it would have increased your net worth better than the stock market and gold.

If the SHTF reloading supplies will be serious trading stock. If it doesn’t you’ll never regret sitting on components with a long shelf life anyways….

 

[Ledd Slinger]

Yeah, Alliant can shove these prices up their a**!!! Finding Vihtavouri is a better option anyhow with good speeds and better temp stability

I posted elsewhere I was using Ramshot X-Terminator. I was buying recently for 36 bucks. I just now checked, as of today it's up to 47. Up about 30% in one step.

Trade? You’ll have the shutters closed and locked with the wifey in the reloading room.
Not the time to yell “I’m out!” as they’re storming the front door!

I got one of the original 8 pounders of Reloder 16 when it hit the
market. $169 !!! H-4350 went away during that time period for
awhile, and R-16 jumped up to $189, and I bought another jug.
Of those 2 jugs. I have 4 pounds left and will buy no more since
it's way over $400 bucks now.

There is a 8 lb jug of RL16 at my local C-A-L Ranch for $659. It’s insane
