What happened to all the RL26?

[Vodoun daVinci]

Spent all last Summer working up my most accurate handload for 6.5 CM using Alliant Reloder 26 and was gonna spend this winter rolling a few hundred of them for next season and now I can barely find any RL26 in stock.

Anyone else being vexed by this? Does Alliant only do a production run on some powders and when they run out we just wait for the next run? Sucks thqt I have all this time during the holidays and now I don't have powder.

VooDoo

Just a wild ass guess but perhaps DOD? H1000 is non existent for that reason. My buddy has a .270 and he uses RE26 also.

 

[Codiekfx400]

If your finding barely any in stock your doing good. That stuff is as rare as unicorn shit. ?

 

[Steel head]

There was a bit floating around a few weeks ago but it disappeared fast.

 

[Vodoun daVinci]

Hell they had bunches of it all summer at the local Scheels....if I find it again I guess I'll have to buy a bunch.

 

[MOUNTIC]

It comes around. Just picked up 24 lbs again a month ago. Just get on a wait list. They will call you when it's in. No sense of calling everyone all the time.

That was one of the only powders I couldn't find here in Central Ohio lately, even though I don't use it.

Place an hour north of me had 3-4 Kegs of H4350 as well as RL16 and RL17 by the keg. Another place half hour west of them had XBR 8208 kegs for $167 OTD. Picked up one of those for my AR's.

The H4350 that was on Midsouth sold quick lol. They were one of the only places online that had it

All of the RL26 is in West texas...

It's not only the rl-26 but damn near everything, Varget, H-1000, H4831sc, Retumbo, Imr-7977 ,8208 xbr, My local stores and online guys. WTF.

Fin Feather and Fur in North Ohio. They had all but H4350 in stock. I was pretty surprised...and at good prices. Must not be very many precision reloaders in Ohio lol

How much is hazmat shipping for someone like us to ship it lol... maybe a brother will hook you up.

This stuff?

whats that Reloader 26 running at that place?

 

[Vodoun daVinci]

Cool! Where is it? I just scored 3 lbs at a place 2 hour drive from here. 4 hours on the road is cheaper than Hazmat and I have the time over the coming holiday break to make the drive.

VooDoo

That’s was two weeks ago. It’s all gone.

I have been watching for H4350 myself and just picked up an 8# keg from Brownells.

in my area H4350 is fair plentiful.

what price did they have?
The two local places to me are great shops and often have rare powders at good prices.
I picked up the H4350 for 198, and the XBR 8707 for 167. They also had H4831SC for 176.

I called two places near me. One guy laughed when I asked about H4350 and the other place 30 minutes away had 3 kegs and about 10 - 1lb’ers lol

$215. But had a code for free shipping and .01 hazmat, so I grabbed it.

LOL...proof the stuff is getting hard to find. I just scored 3 pounds at Scheels in Cedar Falls Iowa....supposedly they have more if anyone is near and desperate!

I’m guessing that was at Ally Outdoors in Midland Texas. I picked up 2 8 pound jugs of it. They were $215 but with veteran discount they were $202.

[davezander]

I was at FIN FEATHER Fur in Canton Ohio today they had 8# and 1#.
i saw multiple 1#, at least 1 8#. I want to say the 8# was $159.00 but I'm not positive on that as I don't use it, just browsing. No H4350 though. Did see some Varget also.

 

[Danrobberg]

Reviving this thread. I’m in need of 2-3 pounds and can’t find it anywhere.

Powder IN-STOCK thread

Well, I'd like to start a thread for people to post in-stock powder when they find it. It only works if people keep participating and everyone stays on topic. The last general reloading in-stock thread died, so I figured I'd start one for powder ONLY. Primers are typically out-of-stock within...

[ImperfectLiberty]

There was a couple pounds at my local gun store yesterday for $60 a pound! In Utah. FWIW

 

[Williamtell]

Thanks, but in in Virginia
