Ramshot Grand discontinued? Why?

[stazmania]

I was thinking about giving it a try in the 22 creedmoor and 6.5 prc but while looking at load data on Hodgdons site it shows as discontinued. Any one ever give it a try and match published load data/velocity?

Not according to their website that I just checked. You can buy it from them direct, right now.

Look at their reloading data. That is where it says discontinued.

I don't believe it. I bet someone hacked their website.

The Hodgdon shop website is different from their reloading website, might simply be an error between them.

Our wholesale distributor still has a bunch in stock and no mention of it being discontinued. I'd say unless there was a major supply chain problem it's still in production. But a call to Hodgdon or Ramshot would clear this up.

When in doubt, go directly to the source.

Thats a great idea. Oh maybe they are closed for holiday?

Perhaps they are the only ones who can provide the actual/true answer. I sent a follow-up question this AM, including this post, and will gladly share it when I get their response.

I called and they are closed for the holiday. I am only interested because it looks like a good option for several reasons in cartridges I load. I was hoping someone may have the scoop when I started this thread. To buy or not? Is it discontinued because it's a dud? because it's great and going for military/commercial use only? In one case I will pass, if the other I would buy a bunch. Just hoping to get some insight before the supply dries up? Thanks for your response.

At this point, all you have is a speculation. Here are other threads on Ramshot Grand.
