Out of Production Reloading Components

Alcan
Incorporated in 1951, Homer Clark Jr's company Alcan is credited with greatly expanding the popularity of shotshell reloading in the United States after World War II1. Most of the components that he sold were imported from Europe and were for reloading shotshells. Alcan did however sell some bullets and rimfire ammunition as well.

In 1972, Smith & Wesson in conjunction with Fiocchi aquired Alcan after the company had apparently over extended itself. Smith & Wesson continued to manufacture ammunition and components under the Alcan Name until about 1980.
