What are some of the guys going to switch to powder-wise now that reloader 26 looks like it's going to become even more scarce since alliant has shut down all the powder manufacturing because of lack of materials
What what powder do you switch to because alliant has shut down manufacturing

Vihtavuori !! Seems as though the 500 series of their powders get comparable speeds to Reloader, just a little harder on throats as far as I can tell. I honestly do t care about that for hunting rifles, target rifles will always shoot hodgdon powders for me, seems as though they are the most repeatable and stable powders I've used.

Vihtavouri for me also.
The 500 series will net a little more speed.
The 100 series is easier on throats.

I might be wrong, but I don't think Alliant shut down manufacturing, rather Vista shut down importing it to the USA?
Where did you hear or read (documentation) that Alliant is Shutting Down?

Where did you find all those empty jugs and cans???
Thanks
There is a worldwide shortage of Nitrocellulose due to Wars around the World. The need for Nitrocellulose is because it is used in so many different applications for explosive materials/powders.

That's a small island retirement fund right there.
I've said it in previous posts. I am only a minnow in this pond. There are plenty of big fish here.

It's a big bummer and frustrating. I have almost turned to all PCP rifles and handguns now... Can't find enough powder to shoot period. I have a good stock of it, but once it's gone, it's gone. PCP is nice, fun and very cheap!
But OP, I like N570 and then Hodgen
