Default Reloader powder surprise

Sometimes it pays to do a little detective work. This showed up at my door today.

I could have had 15 or 19, but they didn't have any 22.

Thankfully that dude was banned. Good riddance I say. You've got guys like bulletman who scour the country, order when available, and sells for replacement cost to fellow AOers in need, then you have that fella asking $100 lb.

They had some 23 for a couple days, maybe worth a try a couple quickloads I seen had it 50fps faster than 22. I thought about it but I haven't even got into my 22 yet.

That's no detective work, as someone spilled the beans on here about that last week!

Default Cowtown ?

A few months ago on AO there was talk Alliant powder was not being imported due to not having bilingual labeling. I see from Cowtown's picture that RL15 has a new label.

Curious to know if (& see a picture of) the other side of the bottle
has French on it.

With a little sniffing around over the past couple weeks, I landed 3 pounds of RL-17, three pounds of RL-22, two pounds of RL-26 and ten pounds of RL-19... Christmas in January!

Aw come on. He wasn't that bad. He was good enough to offer Reloader 22 powder for sale for just over a $100/lb.

Rusty Wood and X-reload both sold out in short order. The Bullet Barn still has some listed in stock, but that could change in hours, or even minutes.
