Clays family of powders

There may be light at the end of the tunnel if what's being reported is more than rumor and speculation:

Good news for those of us that prefer Universal and International--it's back and once again being sold and delivered in the USA.

It has been awhile since I was on Shotgun World! My Norton stopped a virus attack when I attempted to read the first link:shock:

hope your write greg ,I sure would like to get some , I have not seen internatonial in two years

[Greg Baehman]

Just picked up two 8 lb. jugs of Universal from my local component dealer with a packaging date of 1/9/15 -- so I'm back in the saddle again and banging away with my 28-ga. 3/4 oz. and 20-ga. 7/8 oz. loads without concerns for rationing. My dealer also has International currently on hand -- the drought appears over!

I have seen clays powder at the local sporting goods dealer along with some 20/28. Rifle powders are in fairly good supply but what you can't find anywhere is brass for a center fire rifle.

Anyone have .300 Savage brass they want to part with???

Big difference between 300 Savage and 300 Weatherby.

I think when I get back from vacation in late April I'm gonna try and lay in a couple 8's of Universal Clays and perhaps one 8 of International .

Seems to me I can fairly easily replicate my SR7625 loads in the 10 , 12 , 16 and 20 with these two powders and I may not even need the International as I would think there's a decent 12 load using Universal .

Hi just seen this thought you guy might be interested
in case you didn't know AS30N is Clays and AS50N is International AP70N is Universal


Dear Reloader,

Australian Munitions is making some changes to the way we manufacture our pistol and shotgun powders. These changes are necessary to ensure that we can sustainably manufacture these products for many years to come. We are making changes to both the manufacturing process and formulation of the powders, in order to sustain the manufacturability and throughput of the Australian Shotgun (AS) and Australian Pistol (AP) series powders.

The result of this change will be a new series of powders that will give our customers the performance excellence you have come to expect from ADI powders in both shotgun and pistol applications. This new series of powders will be called the APS series of powders, starting with APS35 that will replace AS30N, and APS45 that will replace both AS50N and AP50N. You will see these powders start appearing on the shelves after May this year, and we will be making reloading data available for them on our website and in the 2015 edition of our reloading manual, which will be released in May. Our development of APS-series powders to replace AP70N is well under way, but we will continue to supply AP70N throughout 2015 until the new powder is ready for release. AP100 manufacture is not affected by these changes, as it is manufactured differently.

While we are making these changes, it is unfortunately possible that you may experience some difficulty obtaining AS30N, AP50N and AS50N. This is due to the fact that it is getting more difficult for us to run the old process regularly, which is an important part of the reasoning behind making the changes. We ask that you please remain patient during this time, as the changes are essential to ensuring that we can continue making these powders in Australia well into the future.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and for using our World Class powders, proudly made in Australia. We appreciate your custom.

Be safe out there, and enjoy your reloading.

Glad I don't use their powders - it could be awhile.

[Rich Anderson]

I'm glad I have about 30lbs of it.

try trimming .30-06 brass and sizing it I believe Forester sells the dies and possibly Reading D

If your referring to my inquiry regarding 300 Savage brass the parent case is the 250-3000 so trimming a 30-06 case is way more work than necessary if it will even work. it would be far easier to use a 22-250 case and neck it up but I have found a sufficient supply of brass.
