Wow. Real bummer!

I guess I'm glad to still have a couple of 8 pounders of w231 on hand!

But I can't find TightGroup either!

this topic is going around on several other forums and it looks like it might be a fake.

one member of the single action forum said he talked with Chris Hodgdon on the phone and he assured him that there was no intentions of them dropping W231 from their lineup.

I also read another post were a guy got a return email from someone at hodgdon saying that they weren't dropping it from their powders.

time will tell for sure but it looks like they'll still be making it.

I wonder if Alliant feels the same way about Unique. It's been scarcer than hen's teeth for a loooong time.
