Powder ban

[Daryll]

Although RamShot powders are also scarse... I've been trying to get hold of some WildBoar to replace my usual H335, but seems out of stock everywhere

I'm starting to work up loads using Vihtavuori powders with promising results so far for 55 & 90gr bullets in .243.
Another plus is it's at least 10% cheaper than Hodgdon.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a definitive non EU/UK REACH Compliant reloading powders list please? best I have seen are poor photocopies of incomplete lists.

This is what I have been sent

So only 22 powders are non REACH compliant?

From the previous threads where Laurie has participated, I believe that Ramshot, Vihtavuori and Reload Swiss powders are all compliant with the REACH act. So far, I've heard nothing with regards to Alliant powders (e.g. Red Dot, Bullseye) so I'd be curious to know what's going on with these. But seeing as IMR have announced REACH compliant powders with very similar naming to Red Dot, Unique, then I wonder if these would be replacing those powders?

This is the best information I have seen so far, they all seem to relate to a single source however, not sure about other powder companies.

Edit: Misread your OP, the list I posted are things which are NOT compliant and won't be coming in from what I understand.

Nope, this is what I wanted thank you, non/not REACH compliant powders

Ive heard under these new laws that its goodby to federal primers in the eu, and also some powders accross the spectrum of manufacturers, can anyone elaborate or clear this up, or just outright correct me?

I can't comment on Alliant pistol grades but all rifle 'Reloder' series are compliant. (They're all made in Europe.)

Re non-compliant, the 'traditional' IMR powders (4198, 3031, 4064, 4895, 4350, 4831, 7828 and 7828ssc) as originally developed / manufactured by Pu Pont Industries in the States, latterly by General Dynamics at its Quebec plant are in limbo - I can't get Edgar Brothers to say one way or the other. Since they use 'old-fashioned' formulations, I really can't see how they can be compliant though.

IMR-8208 XBR and Trail Boss are definitely non-compliant as despite their branding, they're made by Thales / ADI and are therefore really 'Hodgdon' grades.

The five new IMR pistol revolver powders and the four new 'Enduron' grades - IMR 4166, 4451, 4955, and 7977 are compliant so no fudging there. Hodgdon / IMR even make a thing about their being 'green', environmentally friendly etc in the marketing material for their features - which implies that the former Dupont grades aren't. I do hope they are compliant as I've always liked the traditional 'legend' IMR powders.
