New manufacturer, and while I haven't tried them yet myself initial reports have been positive (meaning reports say they work as well as the established brands.)

More domestic primer production capacity should be a good thing.

There's some threads about them on accurate shooter, Brian Enos, and a few other forums.

I can promise if you don't get it now you will kick yourself later. I have multiple contacts in the reloading supply world and they are all forecasting very high prices due to nitrocellulose going to the wars and plants closing down, at least temporarily.

where have they been for the last 3 years lmao..

 

[MK20]

where have they been for the last 3 years lmao..

You don't understand. The last 3 years were demand driven price increases.

What I am talking about is a shortage of manufacturing capacity for the civillian market on top of the demand.

 

[MK20]

Nitrocellulose is a celluloid plastic that is combined occasionally with nitroglycerin and other elements such as graphite to produce powder. All powder uses it. The mfg process is technical, and often hazardous, but not overly complicated.

Now...

Think about how much nitrocellulose is used in just one 155mm arty shell.

Russia is making over 2000 a day and burning most if not all of those in combat per day.

The US is making just over 1000 per day and we can't make enough to keep up with Ukraine's demand.

We are just talking 155mm arty shells here, not any other munition.

Lapua is sending ammo to the Ukies.

Basically every country that we source powder from is selling to Ukraine, Israel, or both.

S&B's parent company is sending so much ammo to Ukraine they can't make enough and are having to find and buy externally sourced powder for the arty shells they are making

Then take into account the Israel war and how much ordnance is being expended there.

I talked to a guy at Alliant last week and he told me that they have 2 sources for Nitrocellulose. One is closing for at least a year. I asked why and he said he didn't know.

Another gentleman in the industry told me that he is seeing the ammo companies start to burn through their powder reserves and they generally are expecting to have no reserve left by the beginning of fall. Ammo prices will go up noticeably before Thanksgiving at the latest.

I'm telling you all right now, and mark my words, powder is going to be next year's version of what primers were last year.

Don't panic buy, but if you want to have something and it's available, buy it as you are able.

what I find 'interesting'.
How many 155 shells a day did we make in WW2? yet, we have plants closing down.
Intentional price rise, through intentional plant closures. The Gov could step in and have another plant built to increase capacity, but then a politician's hand won't get greased.

free market can't do it's thing, when 99% of free market requires some sort of Gov permission to do it.
building permits, ammo permits, etc..
the excess regulation. It would be nice if Federal would give those 2 or 4 people a raise who make GM215 .. Always out. Give them an incentive to make a enough to meet demand.

VV is where it's at now. They are super high quality powders and from what I hear, they have decent consistency from one lot to a different one.

VV is where it's at now. They are super high quality powders and from what I hear, they have decent consistency from one lot to a different one.

My issue is I still have a good amount of h4350 and h1000 making it very hard to justify stocking up on VV.

VV is where it's at now. They are super high quality powders and from what I hear, they have decent consistency from one lot to a different one.

Lucky me, I’ve stumbled upon decent deals in several VV powders, including N133, N135, and N540. Most of my shooting for the foreseeable future will be in various loadings of .223, so I’m in a decent spot. Always looking to add more when I can though lol.

Weren't you planning on getting into grendel sometime?

The n133 should work great for it. Have you had a chance to test any of your VV powders yet in anything?

 

[Basher]

Weren't you planning on getting into grendel sometime?

The n133 should work great for it. Have you had a chance to test any of your VV powders yet in anything?

Yep! Still have it and still grabbing brass and projectiles for it when I can as well lol. I’ve heard the N133 should be a decent fit for it, which is part of why I picked up the N133 in the first place. But I’ll probably shoot .223 at a 5:1 ratio compared to the 6.5G for a few different reasons. But it’s not going anywhere.

But no, life’s been a shitshow for us for the past ~9 months or so, and we just moved as part of that so I’ve been acquiring when the deal’s too good to pass up but haven’t been in a position to load anything as of yet. Hoping to be soon, but a big part of the craziness has been my wife’s health so that takes top priority.
