RL16 and other Alliant powders Done?

[mfllood3800]

Our industry is aware of a lot of new chemistry that is being evaluated for inclusion on a new list in Sweden for consumer heath concerns. I’m guessing this is the same list as there are literally thousands of chemicals being evaluated. Chemicals in my area are used in anti-microbial treatments for fabrics but this touches most industries. Based on my knowledge of this list this is more about labeling for consumer concern not outright bans in most cases. This is also not a “light switch”. There will be time for evaluation, legislation and transition to better chemistry where available.

My advice is to not panic. The gun industry loves panic as it drives, shortages, feverish hoarding and major profits. My industry is good on our chemicals until 2025 for European distribution maybe beyond. There are no issues for US distribution for the moment in our area. Finally this isn’t insane government overreach on Sweden’s part. They are following research on harmful effects of different types of chemicals on people. It’s about health, safety and science.

Thank you for the facts

I think Federal is the parent company to Alliant (RL) so simply ask Federal what is causing the RL shortage problem. I suspect that RL is being requested by Federal to manufacture powders for the Federal highest volume ammo. You have to remember that reloading components are a small fraction of overall sales of Federal/RL. I am not happy about the current situation but it will pass (I hope). I think Federal will provide the best/ true info on the problem.
