I was a long time Hercules/Alliant customer.

Not so much now.

News flash: 2400 still works in 410 shells. They sold it for years as the 'shooters choice for 410', right up until they came out with '410'. I get better case life with 2400.

I used a lot of Promo. It shows up sporadically at the big wholesalers now and then, but Graf's and Gamaliel have not had any for years.

Screw Alliant and their manufacturers induced shortages.

Titewad is almost as cheap overall, and it's density lends itself to better crimps in the stupid AA HS shells. I also discovered International for light 20 gauge. Perfect powder for it.

I'm all for competition, and I'd like to buy US made products, but my loyalty to Alliant is long gone.
