Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Is Hodgdon now a powder monopoly

This will interest the Canadians. With Hodgdon's acquisition of Accurate, Higginson Powders will be the CDN distributor.

I contacted Andrew Higginson a few weeks ago, and received this, dated 30 Nov 20.

...with regards to Accurate & Ramshot powders, we just received information from Hodgdon this morning. We expect to see some arrive late winter early spring, some types are not yet approved for Canada and our import permits will have to be updated. As soon as we receive any of these types, our price list will be updated.

For Canadians, this is good news. Higginson is a long time distributor of Hodgdon powder up here. From their website,

FROM 1898 GEORGE OWEN HIGGINSON MANUFACTURED BUILDERS LIME AND DISTRIBUTED EXPLOSIVES TO 1952. FROM 1952 THOMAS TWEED HIGGINSON DISTRIBUTED 2.2 MILLION POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES PER YEAR. AS WELL AS THE FIRST CANADIAN DISTRIBUTOR OF NOBEL POWDERS AND OVER 40 YEARS DISTRIBUTING HODGDON POWDERS AND HORNADY BULLETS ACROSS CANADA.
