Not to kill the messenger, but Reloder 33 was released three years ago and still none available.
 
Based on what I've read and heard from people actually involved in importing and wholesaling (not bubba at the gun counter at your local store) is maybe but unlikely late 2015, hopefully early 2016.
There appears to be a trickle of Alliant powder coming in still but nothing wholesale/large scale. Whether this is actually new powder coming in or odds and ends of old stock being found in warehouses, I have no idea.

Well, I sure hope Alliant starts making some of their powders available in Canada because I'de like to give them a try someday.

Anyone think that's ever going to happen?

According to an Alliant sales rep I spoke with directly while visiting a distributor friend... Alliant is concentrating their production on supplying manufacturers of loaded ammunition... he guesstimates that production and distribution of small consumer quantities will resume in early 2016... but I am betting that will depend on the demand by the manufacturers and Alliants increased production capacity. Once again it's "wait and see..."

I am out of RL-15 & 17 & and down to a pound of 19... so I am sniffing around for clues to hidden stock piles...
 
What a joke. I don't buy the that there is a shortage. Companies are greedy. If there is a demand they fulfill demand by increasing supply. It doesn't seem to be happening.
 
Local shot got some reloader powders that are it tin cans so whenever they used to package them like that. No idea how ild they are. Otherwise been years since seen any of their powder.
 
Some Alliant powder is making it to the dealers shelves, I just came up with some R-10X that the dealer didn't have a month ago. I am sitting great with R-22 and R-7, and now I have enough R-10x to at least get me into 2016.

The fact that they are "greedy" (interested in profit), is why there is a shortage... yes, of course supply and demand rule... but unfortunately, the demand for ammunition in the USA means that the ammunition manufacturers are going full bore and are gobbling up everything that Alliant can produce... business is good... just not for us little guys.
