Thread: Component shortage

One reason I went with a 22-250

UPDATE!

Well the good and the bad of it team, trying times and I feel for the team at Steve's Wholesale.
Hang in there team we'll get through this bollocks


Important Shipping Update
Our ADI Gunpowder Container was turned away at the port today and not loaded on the booked sailing. We don't know why just yet but it's now a waiting game for another ship, hopefully in a few weeks' time. Looking like our delivery around NZ will be North Island later in Jan and South Island in Feb 2022..

Some good news is our 40' container of Hornady etc is released and is waiting to be trucked down to WGTN.. hope to be packing orders from Monday onwards. [Note all the USA supplied gunpowders missed this container]

More good news because we need it... Hornady is suppling us a record quantity of goods for a Feb 2022 arrival here... we have now booked 2 x 40' cans to cover the large volume of goods coming including most of our brands and a good amount of USA-made gunpowders except Alliant. There will be plenty of 7mm08, 6.5 ELD-M Match projectiles, 308 American Whitetail, 6.5 PRC in Match ammo, 6.5 Creedmoor, 44 Mag, .22 Magnum, 300WSM, 7mmMag limited, 17HMR limited.

Everyone try and have a Christmas holiday to put 2021 behind us. We will be open most trading days over the holidays.

cheers
Steve

In the comments section of the powder shipment post, they say the Hornady shipment is hopefully arriving 10th March.

ADI powder is being delivered now. Upper east coast, Bay of Plenty. Steve dropped mine of early this morning

Hi are you in retail, from Waihau Bay and after some 2217

Agree @grandpamac
Which is why next to the 7mm's
I have a 222 a .303(well lots of them tbh) and .577 and 450/577cal....and just in case 9.3mm...lol
Variety is the spice of life
And you never know when the need may arise

I heard a story that Alliant won't load containers with other powder manufacturers' goods.

Yay 6.5 ammo.

Latest update from ADI...
Propellant Update

Dear Sporting Shooters,

It has been quite some time since our last propellant update.

We would like to assure you, the factory continues to run at maximum capacity, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, and we’re supplying as much propellant to the market as possible. Any difficulty in accessing our propellants is due to unprecedented demand and not a reduction in manufacturing or supply to the Australian market.

Below is an update on our propellants and the popularity/frequency of manufacture for each.

AR2208, AR2209 – These propellants will be available in both 1kg and 4kg bottles for the foreseeable future and we have these propellants represented through the different stages of manufacture almost constantly.

AR2206(H), AR2213SC, AR2217 – Is typically made multiple times a year. AR2206(H) will be available in both 1kg and 4kg bottles, while AR2213SC and AR2217 will be available in 1kg

AR2225, AR2218 – Our two slowest burning propellants represent only a small amount of the propellant we release to the market every year. Stocks of AR2218 in 4kg and AR2225 in 1kg should last for some time and we plan on packing some AR2218 in 1kg later in 2022.

To read more about our propellant update please visit our ADI World Class website.

ADI are no longer making pistol and shotgun powder APS for the foreseeable future ,thats a bloody shame.

And their communication on APS from March 2021

Doh! I was tinkering with aps as a replacement for trailboss, thinking it would be around longer. What a shame.

Greetings All,
Was interested to see that ADI seem to have gone from 500 gram bottles to 1 kg bottles. BM 8208 I got recently was in a 1 kg bottle. It will certainly help keeping up with lot numbers but someone using a .222 is going to take a long time to get to the bottom of a 1 kg pot.
