Hey guys got this email today from Alliant powder thought I would share with you. maybe light at the end of the tunnel
Chris,
Once the powder is delivered to the distributor, we have absolutely no control on the final destination of that powder.# We sell the powder to distributors who in turn sell it to dealers, wholesalers and retailers.
The situation is no better down here in the states than it is in Canada.
We are making and shipping powder every day.# Many of the powders we make are made at one facility at Radford.
Here in tech services I could not tell you when or where your powder was made or when or where it was shipped.
Suffice it to say we are running 24/7 and making more powder today than at any other time in our history.
We sell to our distributors, about 50 of them.# They in turn sell to dealers, wholesalers and retailers.# Once the powder is shipped to the distributor we have no control on the final destination of that product.
The situation is looking better with each passing day.
If we look at the retail marked we have never really seen these shortage, whether it was for bullets, ammo, primers or powder, go longer than 18 months.# We are now approaching that mark.
We also have three market indicators that lead us to believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.# The first of these is that ammunition supplies in the stores are better today than it was 8-9 months ago.# We can now find just about any ammo we want in the stores.
The second indicator is that primer orders have dropped significantly.
Finally, gun sales have taken a nose dive in the last two to three months.
All of this leads many to believe that the supplies of powder should start showing back up on the shelves soon.# Just recently, in my local town, I saw several bottles of propellant on the shelves that I had not seen in some time.
About all we can do is be patient, it won't last forever.
Thanks,
Shoot Straight
