Any of you folks who are neighbors of Western Powder know anything about the future of Ramshot Powders? Big Game and Hunter are the ones that I am interested in. I have seen some TAC but nothing else now for Long time. I wonder if that market will come back for the US distributor of these fine powders. What say you?

I wrote them a week ago, and still no reply.

I wrote them for the third time in a year last week with still no answer.

They are alive and well, just spoke with them.

So what's the future of their powders? Looking for some more Hunter.

I use TAC and Big Game for a couple of calibers I reload and have been looking for Big Game as well. I too am not finding it in my area. I hope it is just a lull in production. Ramshot Powders measure really well.

Just asked them, and both Big Game and Hunter are sold out, just waiting for more to come in.

They give an ETA? They've been sold out for a couple of years, since the mad rush and then the factory fire. I haven't seen any new on the shelf in a long time.

For anyone that doesn't know, Ramshot had a fire at its factory in Belgium in March of 2014. The first powder they started producing after they got back up and running was Tac and that's all that's been available.

Nope. just waiting.

I've used Ramshot powders and like them. Problem is that they don't offer as much loading data as Hodgdon so Hodgdon dominates my powder supply and I don't buy Ramshot anymore.

Samr for alliant; excellent powders but lacking in loading data.

If you have an excellent product and don't tell your customer how to use it, you won't sell much of it.
