I'm hearing BS - Set me straight on Powders being discontinued!?

I guess Ross Seyfried and the rest of the vintage loading experts get to win the day? If you can't regulate it with IMR3031 you probably ought not to own it!

I do have enough RL for my personal needs, but a jug of 3031 and some wads will suffice if its antique, pretty, and likes a special diet.

If all else fails for your old doubles just buy some old military 303 Brit rounds and pull them down and use the cordite sticks .

I was told by Lonnie at Superior that in December Alliant was sold overseas. I've heard similar rumors as you over the past year, but I have not been able to confirm any of it. Wishing I had some Reloader 17 on hand if it's really not coming back.

Until fairly recently (Nov 2024) Vista Outdoors owned Alliant, Federal, CCI, Speer, Remington ammo. They disinvested those product lines and sold off to a private equity Czech (CSG) company. Concerns were raised but the sale was approved anyway. Supposedly, CSG will continue to manufacture ammo in the U.S. Until they won’t/don’t? A sad state of affairs IMO.
