Just got a couple of emails from Midway regarding Bullseye and 2400...
We're Sorry
The item you've been waiting for has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.

That’s my understanding as wellIt’s just a Midway thing, Alliant is not discontinuing it, there’s just no pending date for Midway to receive any and they’re purging their notifications system.
I do see a shiftMidway very often list something is discontinued when it is in fact, not discontinued. Do not use them as the final word in any form.
Did they restrict to other countries that produce more powder. Theres not much made state side and its all made in government owned facilities.I remember hearing China has put export restrictions on nitrocellulose to the US recently. I think it was on the Wall St Journal podcast. So that's going to eff with the market. They were the largest exporter of it to us as I understand it.

I miss the group buys.The UPS man brought me a couple of 8 pounders today.
A local group buy consisting of solid people would have been great. God bless anyone who runs a group buy around this place. There's always a couple people who expect the organizer to drive 45 minutes to meet them plus wash their car when they get there. I'm not exaggerating by much- people suck unless carefully vetted.I miss the group buys.
I had a good thing going until covid.
Theres no one left in my dependable group now.
They all got out of mass but 1 old timer.
He sold me what he had left for supplies 2 years ago and no longer shoots.
Crazy

I burned through a lot of my powder during peak Wu Flu. Started off with a good stock of it, but was getting lower than I wanted. Thanks to friends here on NES and/or local friends plus watching the internet, I'm in really good shape for powder now.
From the same sell-as-they-go estate sale I sourced the Dillon 650, I bought around 60 lbs of cast and coated bullets for 45 ACP and paid scrap value. Also picked up more Bulleye- two unopened and one 2/3 full. The open one was actually from my friend and he was only loading with that, so no chance it was mixed. Got a big bin of Winchester 45 ACP tumble cleaned brass along with the rest for a couple bucks. Since the Dillon came set up for 45 ACP, I was able to start running it with all the 'new' supplies. Almost no adjustments were necessary, so these components and powder must have been what the late friend had been running. A small tweak on the powder drop was pretty much it. Even the low/high powder warning was set correctly.
OK, now I know why they were your group buy buddies.It also helped 3 if the guys loaded for giggle switch equipped platforms.
Yes they made getting to bulk deals real easy , its really nice when you can max out the hazmat shipping fees also and the $$$ step discounts.OK, now I know why they were your group buy buddies.![]()
