Powder....again.

[c.latrans]

A question for anyone in the know. This has been kicked around for who knows how long now, but is anyone, anywhere seeing Alliant RL powders showing up on the shelves? I have not seen a pound of RL22 in so long that I have developed alternate loads out of other powder I have on hand. Is it showing up anywhere? Thanks in advance!

Just saw 22 on the shelf here in Little Rock. Along with 17, 19, and 25. No Bullseye that I was looking for tho..

Saw 15, 17 and 22 in South TX

Good news down south any way! I thought maybe it had become extinct. Slowly seeing things back on the shelves in my neck of the woods, but nothing like before this latest scare.

Picked up R15 last week and they had the whole lineup from 10x up to R25. That was here in Portland.

I've seen it at bass pro in Springfield mo

 

[iceburg]

Bass Pro in Denver has R17, 19 and 22...

On all of the shelves I've seen, and for awhile now.

Keep an eye on Gunbot, you'll see it often in stock.

I was at Bass Pro in Harrisburg PA and they had 5, 1lb canisters of 22, 19 & 17 but prices have skyrocketed, 30.95/lb on any powder they had on the shelf. But the closest B-P-S to Montana is Rock View Alberta, Loveland Colorado or Tacoma Washington

No Powder down here in the South East, At least NO Pistol type powders at all.

Interesting that things are showing up regionally or by company...the market at work I suppose. Up here I have noticed some more IMR numbers and lots more projectiles on the shelves, but none of the popular RL powders. I have looked at Scheels, Big R, Big Bear and Cabelas as well as numerous independent and "Sports Inc." stores, (which is a buying group for smaller family owned type businesses). Unfortunately most of my big powder burners like RL22, the upside is it does not take many primers to burn up a pound! No brass to speak of yet, either, aside from the regular gun snow junk. Thanks for the info.

It comes up fairly regularly here in central Arkansas.
I saw the RL15, RL17, RL19 and RL22 all on the shelf in 2 different places the other day. Now I can't say how long they lasted.

It's the Bullseye and Unique that are harder to find here (at least when I was looking).

Man Paul, I wish we were not across the country from one another. Unique I have in spades.
