    Alliant powders availability

    Has anyone been seeing Alliant powders available? I have been seeing many Hodgdon powders making an appearance in my are but nothing for the Alliant line, particularly 2400 and Power Pistol. I haven't had any luck with online sources either. I was just curious if other areas were seeing any.

    I saw about a dozen 1 pound bottles of 2400, a dozen 4 lb bottles of red dot, seen green to and blue dot too. All at one store. No bullseye no h110

    I have seen Cabelas and PowderValleyInc have Unique and RedDot in recent times. PowderValley had Unique just last week, but it was gone in two days.

    My LGS has red dot, blue dot, and green dot. No PP, Bullseye, or Unique. Quite a few Hodgdon powders though.

    Yes, my LGS has all Alliant powders except Unique in stock. Only reason for no Unique is because someone cleaned them out of it.

    It might be an example of "the right place at the right time" The local shop got in a dozen 1# of 2400 in the other day. The next 10 people through the door each bought 1 and I bought 2. Most of the people around me is just replenishing the supply, exhausted by the recent shortages. Alliant is starting to ship in larger quantities according to a salesman from one of the distributors, it's just a time factor. They are not packing much in 8# caddies until some of the one pound demand dies down, which makes sense. If they aren't feeding me a line, things should be back in swing by the first of the year.

    My preferred local shop started restocking at a couple months ago and since then haves maintained a pretty decent supply of Alliant and Hodgdon owned brands. Inventory seems to sell quickly but the shelves are restocked right away. Prices are up a bit, but inflation is seen everywhere you look now.

    I just got 2lbs each of Bullseye and 2400 from MidSouth in the last couple of weeks. I understand that Powder Valley received a shipment recently as well.

    EDIT: Just checked Recobs and they have Bullseye, Green Dot and Red Dot in stock.

    My local shops have more Alliant powders than any others. After the last shortage the Alliant powders started showing up first.

    Yep, my cost on the LPP is now $36 per K.
    Just two weeks ago I bought 5K of them for $10 less per K.

    Ordered 8# Promo and 5# Blue Dot from Powder Valley last week. Believe they still have those in stock today. Was at a nearby Cabelas yesterday....very little powder of any kind but a good supply of all kinds of primers.

    Just bought 2 lbs of Bullseye at LGS 2 days ago.
    When I add this to the Bullseye that I have on hand
    I'll be up to 2 lbs!

    Good health and good shooting.

    Primers of all sizes and brands here have been more plentiful with small pistol being the last to show up. Powder is still very limited. It's interesting what items are available in different regions.

    Was just at BigASS Pro Shop and they have tons of primers.......FOR $4.99/100! OMG!

    The most I have ever paid was $3.79/100. And usually a lot less than that.

    I notice there isn't any RL-15 in any container size on that list. I haven't seen RL-15 in a long time and I'm on my last 2#
