Reloder 15 shortages?

[MidWesterner]

I'm looking for Reloder 15 at Grafs, Bruno, Natchez, Powder Valley, Midway USA - all out of stock. Anyone know what's up?

 

[Kracken McGraw]

3rd Generation has R15 in stock.

just another powder going missing that people who run varget are buying out. That just leaves you ar-comp as another option.

Thanks to all that answered - I see I missed that Grafs has R15 in stock (no it's not cheap). The Hornady reloading handbook indicates that Viht N135 is their "accuracy" load for the Hornady 75 gr HPBT so I imagine it should be fine for 77 SMK also.

Norma 203B is supposed to be the same powder. I have used it interchangeably in 223 Rem.

Just had 2-5 lb jugs arrive from Brownells last Monday (1-20.) Didn't realize it was running scarce.

Thats a normal price for me. $30-32 a pound

I can get the one pounders about 28 ish local. I did some looking around and prices have increased a little since i did some real digging last time. Prices never seem to go down arrrrrg....

When's the last time anyone has seen Reloder 15 available through one of the usual channels, Grafs,Bruno's, Midway, Powder Valley, etc? I see it on Gunbroker but the prices are absurdly overpriced. I feel like I've been waiting over a year for Reloder 15 and it's just not been available? I'd love to be wrong and someone has been able to acquire it recently and it's just a matter of being patient, something will become available in the new few months? Thoughts?

The Alliant powders are a bit more hard to find.
Just picked up 5 one pounders from PV last week.
It just goes very quickly.

 

[22DASHER]

It’s a time of compromise. If you can’t find any then find a different powder to use or spend more then you’d like on Gunbroker for it. I have purchased several alliant powders through PV recently including RL 15

 

[Mulligan]

I too have been looking for RL-15 for months, no love.

When it hits, it doesn't stay on the shelves for very long.

It is one of those a lot like Varget or H4350 where the dedicated match shooters plan their season around it so they grab it when it comes out, just in case they don't see any more for the year.

RE-15 is probably only second to Varget in many circles like 69, 77, and 80 grain service rifle loads.

Norma 203b is very very close to RL 15 if you can find it. I have seen it in stock at PV a couple of times recently.

Yep, I passed on some 1 pounders hoping to find a few 8 pounders……… I bad decision after another.
