After my never ending pilgrimage around the whole of western PA i have gotton lucky on finding powder and primers but my most favorite score of Retumbo and 8133 in a 8# jugs has me the most excited because now i cant get the 28nosler and 300wm out and shoot at will. I have found allot of powders that were scarce even when times were good. just the other day i found a little shop that was goin out of business (retirement) he had 2# of 4000mr, 3# of H1000, 8lb of RL26, 1lb of RL16 and a brick of cci 215's he said if you buy it all i will make you a hell of deal. he came up with a price and i said sold! i got home did the math and came to the conclusion that the price's he charged me were circa 2010 time frame SWEET!!!
Got home opened up my greatly depleted powder locker and started stacking powder i said boy this is starting to look good and took a selfie then got to the Alliant powders and they looked out of place with all the IMR's and Hogdon bottles then i looked at the RL26 8# jug said holy cow that's a big container for 8lbs of powder and i told myself that's ridiculous. So the only thing i could come with is that there is reason for it but could not come up with a reason yet. So maybe someone on here could shed some light why Alliant uses such massive containers. Cheers!!!
