Natchez has Alliant Powder in stock this morning

I can't believe powder prices will drop to pre-pandemic levels----ever. My biggest concern is keeping my vintage guns fed with low pressure/recoil ammo.

Heard a news report yesterday that the US has supplied a huge number of 155mm artillery shells to the Ukraine gov't and that the Pentagon is moving to replentish US inventory by increasing production six fold to a level not seen since the Korean War. No doubt the propellent is nitrocellulose based and guess what that will do to availability of smokeless powders for civilian use? Only so much NC is being manufactured and I doubt any of the makers will be investing in new powder mills as compared with the current practice of using "surplus production" from the gov't arsenals they manage under contract to Uncle Sam.

IMHO folks that think prices will get back to pre crud prices are delusional at best .
