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

Thanks - I grabbed 8lbs of the 568.

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

This (Reloder 15) was gypsy sand for a while and now they have 15 in stock. I remember comments many pages back saying "if it's in stock but super expensive, they finally priced it so high that people won't buy it."

Which rings true. For $289 I could bear it and put it in my cart. Then with shipping and tax, the total was $350 and change. divided by 5#, that's $70/lb and I just couldn't stomach it and closed the tab. Then got an email from BCR, "Hey, you left something in your cart!"

RL15 at Blue Collar Reloading

I had switched to VARGET for my 308 a couple years back, but it's not as good as RL15 for accuracy or speed in my gun. But I'm going to finish the 5# I'm on before I pay $70/lb for more
 
I haven't bought primers in a long time and I still have some.

Assuming I needed to start shopping around, what's the price to look for? I know I've seen many times here where people will say X store prices are ridiculous.

I'd essentially be looking for large rifle magnum and small rifle magnum.

What are the
good deals, buy it quick
the decent
and
the too expensive, just look somewhere else

SRM $70/k or under is a buy IMO, depending on the haz/ship/tax situation. LRM still fucky and I paid fucknuts rates too.
They removed the 1k restriction & they're still available @ $120/1k. I just ordered 2k plus some Ramshot Grand to try out @ $36/lb

Fee shipping helps, code FS092824

But yeah, prices are still pretty stiff once you factor in hazmat & tax.
Missed that, thanks for clarifying. They removed it because there’s not enough demand.
