I bought some 6 months ago, never heard they quit making it either.
Dunno about quit making, but there was a long time shortage of it around the places I look. Maybe over a year now since I last saw even a pound. Until about 2 weeks ago I went looking for some other powder & stopped in a shop about 50 miles from me & there on the shelf was 4- 1#ers of it. I asked for the owner to let me have one( it was +/- $22 IIRC) off the shelf & how much of it did he have, since I wanted to buy more after not seeing it for so long. He told me he had not had any in for over a year & he could only get one case when he got it. (IDK & he did not say why not more than a case).
Anyway, I did not buy more than one to let others have a chance to get ahold of some if they had been waiting also, but I did let Shiloh, a member here who knows the shop & owner know that they had some thru PM, so he could get some if needed.
I don't use it as much as I did in the past, but I would like to have more than just one pound on the shelf if I can get more.

It's being made. I was able to buy it during the shortage. And I can go to one of the stores now and buy it. Powder availability has been regional for years now.
I saw 3 lbs locally, $28.00 per lb. In stock in Phoenix about 5 bucks cheaper.
I've not seen any locally in about 3 years. I hope to find some soon, as I'm into my last pound.

Alliant 2400.
We are still making this propellant and all the rest. We make 18 different propellants at the New River Energetics (NRE) facility. 2400 is one of those made at NRE. NRE had been running 24/7 for years and at full capacity. Batches of propellant that used to last us 6-8 months today are not lasting 6-8 weeks and in the case of 2400, I don't think the last batch lasted 4 weeks. The last batch hit the shelves in early August and by mid-September, I was again getting calls as to where this could be found again. And those calls have not stopped.
Hopefully, with the changing political climate, supplies will start to stabilize in the market.
Thanks,

I was thinking it was only a couple weeks ago that I found the 2400 I got, but after looking at the date of the PM I sent to Shiloh, it was 3 weeks(Oct 1) that I bought it. Fits the timeline they told you Grmps. Just a lil bit later though.
Glad to hear they are still making 2400, albeit not enough, fast enough.

Check out Third Generation Shooting Supply, shows they have 2400 in stock, 23 eight pounders at $136.89, but no 1 pound . They also have plenty of Unique, R-Dot and Bullseye. Their website is unique in that it shows how much of each powder is in stock.
I found a pound at a gun show, the fella who sold it said it's very popular in the .300 blackout and that's why it's scarce...thoughts?
I have bought it from my LGS, local Bass Pro, and Powder Valley in the last four months. An 8lb jug from Powder Valley.
USMC 6638
I finally saw a couple of pounds at a recent gun show. The price was terribly high so it stayed there.
Powder Valley and Midsouth Shooters Supply has it in stock right now.
