Alliant Powder -- Availability Concerns

[Wind River]

I’m through with using it. Great powder but very spotty availability. Why would I develop loads for powder I’m not likely to replenish?

I saw the price. Stick to ADI (Hodgdon's to you) Although I would love to try some R15 in the BR and the Dasher, but It's not worth the aggravation.

What are you looking for

I'm converting to Vihtavuori--available, reasonable price (at least in these times) and generally good powder.

Hodgdon and VV going forward. As I run out of Alliant powders I'll be testing out replacements from those brands. Which sucks, because I'd largely focused on Alliant powders for 20 years.

I too used Alliant powders since I started reloading.

Luckily I was able to get a few of the larger jugs before they were gone.

But like others, I'm gradually switching over to Vihtavouri.
Again, available and decent price (dare I say lowest price in some cases).

In the past r15, r19, r22, & r25

I'm also done with Alliant, after 20 years. Unavailable. Made the switch this summer to H.

Put the cross on Alliant a couple of years ago. Can't find any and when you do crazy price. As I exhaust what I have I am going to VV as much as I can.

I have switched to almost all ball powder. Its made here so it is cheaper

Lots of people going to VV. Good powder but for years it was almost unobtainable too. What short memories we have.

I remember when VV was the high priced scarce stuff!

Just the other day in my mind.

Just finished up my last 8# jug of GreenDot. Now to figure out a replacement.

I'm glad I picked up an 8lb jug of r23 before all this started. It's probably a lifetime supply for my 7 saum hunting rifle.
