Hard to figure Alliant powder on this one I'd seen a deal on it back in Oct so figured they have some loaing data out.  Alot of their loading data is used with Speer bullet (same company own Speer/Alliant) and Speer is coming out with their new bullet that could be part reason for the delay.  They had pretty good luck with R-17 and this is just me but I figure at some point there gioing to drop some powders.  One of the other company they own is Fusion Ammo and there coming out with components (bullets) so were getting more players in that market they also own Federal Premium and I'm sure some of that new powder has maybe been load in some factory ammo by either company.

I was on the Alliant site a couple days ago and saw this info but nothing else. Overall I find Alliant's website greatly lacking compared to Hodgdon's.  Heck even their data for standby powders of old is terribly limited.  Seems like they could put more data out there, they don't even have all the data I have in one of their old (90's) pamphlets.

Seems like they could have told us more about their new powders.  I hope they are reading this. I looked for a place to comment to them but didn't see it.

Wolfe Publishing company has thousands of loads which are not published by the bullet & powder manufacturers. They have Alliant
loads which I haven't seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, all loads are older than RL17 and these other newer powders.

Danno - Oh I have Pet Loads, 3 Lyman books, 2 Hornady books, Lee, 2 Speer, etc etc, and they all list many Alliant loads.  I sure find the Hodgdon books handy with their very extensive loads for all of their, and IMR powders for many many cartridges. I guess the difference is that Alliant lists loads for a particular powder while Hodgdon lists the cartridge then all the loads for all their suitable powders - Hodgdon's approach is much handier IMO  and I think it encourages a person to try other Hodgdon powders.

At least some load data for 1 or 2 of the new powders has been on Alliant's site for weeks (or longer?), because I downloaded it from them.  Are you downloading their pdf load guide?  If not, do so.
