I'm sure everyone is aware of alliant only fulfilling military orders, Im sure this will make finding alliant powders harder and harder to find.
What are the top used powders?

I guess a better way to ask is if I see any left on shells which would be best to get before you cant?

I'm really in need of a couple pounds of Pro Reach for my favorite pheasant loads. Haven't seen any in a while. Shotshell loading is different from metallic in that you can't just substitute a similar powder and get the same/similar results.

That's what I'm asking..... what specific powders do what before they are gone!
I am trying to stock up on as much as possible because I have a bunch of guns I haven't started reloading for
That depends on chambering/bullet.
4000 MR, 15.5, 16,17, 19, 22, 25, and 26 (unicorn).

Any and all for future purchases
forgot about 50 and 2000-mr
I worry about the future of Alliant as well, now being under the Kinetic Group brand and owned parentally by Czechoslovak Group.
We'll see how the new owners prioritize things.

Why not use another brand?
Not sure why you would want to develop loads with powders that may not be available anytime soon. There are many powders as good if not better than reloader.

Something just work and with enough planning shortages will not effect outcomes
That's precisely my point when I started this thread: https://www.longrangehunting.com/th...the-local-gun-store-empty-handed-rule.255740/ five years ago. I have a pretty good inventory of components already, but I wanted to prove what incremental purchases can do. Many people complained about the shortages but did nothing to prepare for them. And now people complain about the high prices. About two years ago, I purchased some powders for $28/lb that now cost nearly $60.
