Flynn Posted May 30, 2024 at 02:37 AM Share Posted May 30, 2024 at 02:37 AM Quote Alliant Powders has recently suspended shipments of its smokeless powders for reloading. Alliant is the source of such old standards as Bullseye, Unique, and 2400, as well as the more modern Reloader series of powders. https://www.ammoland.com/2024/05/alliant-powders-suspended-shipments-of-smokeless-powders-for-reloading/#axzz8bWmHWWs1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted May 30, 2024 at 04:17 AM Share Posted May 30, 2024 at 04:17 AM You aren't wrong and I have heard this from several sources, with references to the 2008ish shortages/pricing. Pete Brownell ought to be pretty plugged in to the industry and explains a perspective on nitrocellulose here (start at about 9:15). Summary: buy it now if you need it without panicking.

TRussell Posted May 31, 2024 at 01:24 PM Share Posted May 31, 2024 at 01:24 PM I have used a bunch of Unique in the past. It is very tough to find if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallbore Posted June 3, 2024 at 02:09 PM Share Posted June 3, 2024 at 02:09 PM Suppliers are dropping prices on ammo and primers. Makes me think supply is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gunpowder manufacturers but government by putting so much red tape, hazardous material rules etc on them so they either can't do the job or can't afford to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
