Midway has been saying " discontinued " on products they do not have a lead time on for many years.
They nearly gave me a heart attack when the said "discontinued " for Winchester brass back during Obama.
No leed to panic, but don't hold on to your breath waiting for alliant powders to resurface.
Sweden and Switzerland is building arms stockpiles like the USA needs to do. Except we dont have any powder manufacturing except Winchester ball powder from Florida!!
Let that sink in.

Well I had read the rumor, guess now it's official. Do use 15,19,22, and played with 26. Bought more of 15,19 than 22 and 26. Once it's gone will move on to something else provided it's not gone as well. Other choices available for now.

If one of the StaBall powders is appropriate for your rifle, what I have seen with StaBall 6.5 is VERY impressive. More velocity and less ES/SD. Highly recommended.

I have 16lbs of RE17
6lbs of RE22
It's great for heavy bullet 30/06 as well. It was made for the Creedmoor but seems to be better for many other calibers. Also those ball powders are so easy to load whether manually or with an electronic dispenser.

Last year when I bought the Tikka T3x Hunter Stainless Fluted 6.5x55 I found a lb of RL22 that shot great with the Hornady 140gr SST. With maybe 1/4 lb left and having 6lbs of RL19 I developed a load using it with a 140gr Sierra. Group was just as good and velocity was close by leaning on it some. Now when ones gone, they're all gone.
