I support local businesses daily, however, Hodgdon is not hurting anyone by sales to the public as full MSRP. Most Mom and Pop stores sale a few bucks bellow that to be competitive and make a decent profit. The plus side is it also gives us access to the full product line whereas not all stores are going to carry every powder.
More than one manufacturer sells to the public in the same manner.
Also bet Amazon trucks show up at the home of the critics houses from time to time.
