We need to start making more things in our country!
Our country needs to become more busness friendly, and on that note be sure to vote this fall!!

"...We (Alliant) make Re15 in the good'ol USA at Alliant, and we just won the competition with other powder manufacturing companies to produce and supply Re15 to the US military for their sniper units - apparently 308 caliber "
my can says made in Sweden
RL-15..The best all-around medium speed rifle powder providing excellent .223 and .308 caliber performance. Selected as the powder for U.S. Military's M118 special ball long range sniper round...
