A2400 Powder

[The Preacher]

Had A2400 powder on my "wish list" for some time at Midway. Just received this in an email. Not sure exactly what it means. Can't believe they'd discontinue production, though I did hear that most 2400 was going into military production. Don't know.

"We're Sorry. The item you've been waiting for has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase."

I also received a Midway email this morning. Same meassage but it applied to Bullseye powder.
I'm lucky I acquired eight pounds from Powder valley when it was available.
What is the real story on Alliant not producing powder.

Get powder when you can, and start researching new recipes because you won't get any new Alliant powder for at least a year, hodgdon and IMR and Winchester are still available, but not consistently. Gotta start trying out vihtavuori next..

Vihtavouri has been my favorite. I love N110 (over H110).

I had a chance to buy a few pounds of N340 and passed on it, will probably buy some to try if I can't get my usual HS-6

These days it's important to be 'powder flexible'. Several of the 'older' powders have disappeared from production and already (or will soon)disappear from reloading manuals.
Don't under any circumstances throw away older reloading manuals--you may have to find data for obsolete powders later.

Worldwide Nitrocellulose shortage.
Another one of Biden's legacies.

Apparently the company that produces Alliant powders has been having problems supplying the consumer market for a while. Many of their excellent powders have been hard as heck to find. 2400 being one of them. I looked for about 1-1/2 years for some,, and lucked into a place that got in a fresh batch. that was several months ago. I purchased enough to allow me to continue my normal use of it.
As the saying goes; "If you need it,,, and haven't been able to get it,, buy it when you can,, otherwise,, do without.!"

Same message for Unique. Wanted to try it since Universal is not available and I only have a pound left

The Alliant site doesn't say it's discontinued, weird.

My local reloading shop shows 2400 in stock. An 8lb jug is $369.

I bought a boatload of Unique and 2400 two shortages ago. I may not need to buy anymore ever

That's a bargain in 2024.
