If the above is actually true and factual we may see some Clays powders in a few months and if Clays is once again available that should ease the demand for alternative powders.

Good to hear, late summer availability was the timing I got from a dealer months ago, sounds promising

RST 10 gauge back in stock. Just ordered a flat of No. 8's. All of my 10's will be happy

I spoke with a gentleman from Hogdon recently and he stated that there is a quantity of Clays Universal on the boat, on the way from Australia. He further stated that Clays International will be next and that Clays should be here shortly after the first of the year(2015). He further told me that an air handling unit in the powder drying room caused a spark which subsequently ignited the plant. They had it repaired for some time before they could get the local inspectors to come by and give the powder complex their final approval for production. He stated that those folks down there don't seem to get in a hurry about anything. I think that the information is accurate as it couples with several different sources that I have sought out on this question....We will see.

My local dealer just got a shipment of Alliant powder - Clay dot, Red dot, Green dot in 1 & 8 pound. 20/28 in only 1 pound. Prices were reasonable too. Clay dot at $110 for 8# and $18 for 1# of Green dot. Not sure what the others were priced at. They also had Eagle magnum shot for $37.
