FWIW this is a quote from an Alliant employee guy.
"The above posters are correct in that we didn't replace Reloder® 12 with anything when we discontinued it.
Reloder 12 was essentially Hercules' answer to canister/OEM 4895. We produced it for years at our commercial plant in
Kenvil, NJ until we closed that facility in 1996. We produced two lots out of Radford, VA, but the production cost there
made the small volume unaffordable. Bofors never produced Reloder 12 for us.
Developed separately, AR-Comp™ is essentially the same burn speed as Reloder 12 and the 4895s.
Shoot well,"
