Powder IN-STOCK thread

Received this notice from Midway regarding RL 23, this morning. Says it has been discontinued…..😳

Vista / Alliant notified dealers several months ago that pretty much all reloder powders were going to be unavailable for an undetermined time period into the future because of raw material shortages and lack of production capacity for civilian canister powders. While not discontinued, once current stocks are gone, they may be gone for quite a long time...
 
Midway did this same shit when primers were unobtainium. I think they have an automated system that goes this route when they go X number of days/weeks/months/years with orders not filled by the manufacturer.
 
ETA - Missed the above posts.

On the not positive side, received notification from Midway that RL-26 is no longer available;

We're Sorry​


The item you've been waiting for has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.​
 
Not uncommon for the retailers to kill a sku of a product when there is no inventory for a long time.

OEM isn't discontinuing a product at the factory level, just based on a 404 error web page or whatever.
 
In the world of corporate chaos Vista Outdoors put Federal, CCI, Remington Ammunition, into a division called Kinetic Group to be sold to CSG (the Czech group) and several months ago Vista Outdoor dropped and canceled all Alliant Powder Orders. This was done because Federal actually owns the trademark and distributes the powder. Unfortunately the sale has been hung up and the latest shareholder meeting was just delayed. There is another party that wants to purchase the entire Vista Outdoors group including the ammunition group so everything is in limbo.
 
Still some really good VV 8lbs deals from Larry...

N150 8lbs $293

N568 8lbs $284

So, The Soros/WEF (IMO) "Freedom Group" tactic in play once again.
