Just a few years back the shell loading gent at RST told me Alliant 20/28 was heavily used for its 20 and 28g loads. As many here know production of all Alliant shotgun powders had been curtailed earlier this year after a long period of limited production due in large part to increased military demands at the few powder production facilities. There are few good substitutes for Alliant 20/28 and they've been in short supply also. Is it any wonder RST production has been limited as compared with the days of truckload sales at the Southern SxS etc? I'm sure Morris and his staff are doing all they can to maintain some production and at the best pricing possible in these trying times. Will Alliant ever come back with its powders? Who knows, check your crystal ball.
