I haven’t been able to reach the RST web site as well.
In regards to Ballistic Products listing RST as discontinued. When I stopped at Lion County, they told me that they were no longer selling RST shells because RST no longer offered dealer pricing. I am sure Ballistic products is in the same boat.

Not just ammo, but I have been seeing a number of products (electronics and appliances) showing as "discontinued," when the reality is that the vendors just can't get the product. Called one manufacturer in Asia to ask about an item and they told me it's not discontinued, they just don't don't have the components to build any right now.

They shipped me two flats of 20 gauge last week.

They're still around; just struggling with a backlog of orders they can't fill because they can't get components.

But then why take the website down? I’m on the list for some 16’s. This is not a good development

They can not produce more than what they can sell direct, so there is no reason to sell at a discount to other retailers, who will drop them in a second when supplies become easier to get. Right now things like powder are getting a bit more common but the prices have almost doubled.For a shell maker it is even more difficult when you can not predict which if any powders you can get when you find any at all. There is some ability to use different powders with different combinations but when you are loading to a lower pressure point there are only a few options to start with. Where other factory loaders can find six to ten powder choice you might only have three.

Anybody try a phone call? I was going to try, and realized without their web site, I don't have their number.
