Reloader 15

What's the going rate on this powder right now?

 

[Keller]

Last I heard it was no longer available in Canada. Alliant powders stopped shipping it up here.

I really wish it was still available.

Yup. That’s my understanding as well; and for all Alliant powders for that matter.

 

[Keller]

Or... are you asking because you're sitting on a bunch of it and want to sell?

 

[Craig0ry]

That would explain the $635 price tag for a 5 pounder at nechenko, sold out of course

 

[Homesteader]

Varget, could be a good alternative. On sale today 8lb jugs $450. Pretty sure links of non sponsors aren’t allowed, Think big box store that likes to have sales on Wednesdays

Alliant powder has been very scarce for a while now, haven't seen any distributers with any for over a year but then I haven't really been looking, I had a good stock of RL25 but it didn't work as good as H4831 or H1000 in my 7mm PRC I managed to trade 4 lbs for H4831, I took the last 4 lbs to my table at the gun show a couple weeks ago and had it marked at $110 / pound it sold in less than an hour, maybe I sold it to cheap but it's all good as I bought 4 pounds H1000 from another vendor for $85 a pound came out $100 ahead and got the powder I needed.

This is from Alliant:

Alliant is currently not selling powder for reloading due to a worldwide shortage of nitrocellulose. Their supply agreement has been suspended, and existing and new orders will not be fulfilled. Retailers have reported dwindling supplies, and replenishment has been slow.

 

[270WSMXBolt]

Alliant powder is made in Sweden. Their primary source of nitrocellulose WAS Russia. I think this explains things a little... when you consider the geography and their tie to the Ukraine... Time to find a new powder load... Cheers

 

[Deathrawt]

I think some Alliant powders are made in the US as there are some like red and green dot and Unique that are slowly showing up at retailers down south
We of course are not getting squat

 

[Craig0ry]

So what would you guys as if you were selling a 5 pounder and trying to make some money?

Auction.

 

[thatpresision308win]

From my understanding lots of guys that were using realoder powder have moved to VihtaVuori powders.

 

[WKAYE]

On the EE for the low low price of 150.00 per pound.

 

[Dogleg]

Sometimes its easier to pay a high price than change an established load. That costs money too.
I don’t know about RL15, but 22, 25 and 33 are like gold. Maybe 26 is too, don’t know because I couldn’t find that one even when it was around.

 

[Suther]

I'm not looking forward to running out of rl17 I can tell you that much...

 

[todbartell]

Just got in some RL7 from Hodgdon in USA @ $132/Lb. I guess Alliant scraped up a bit of spare nitro-unicorndust for a batch

If anyone is in dire need of RL17 I can part with some of my supply

 

[remington jim]

What's the going rate on this powder right now?

i just SOLD 2 lbs for $130 - a VERY Fair price !

 

[ian745]

[Longstud]

i just SOLD 2 lbs for $130 - a VERY Fair price !

Would that be $130 per pound or $130 for the two pounds?
