Perhaps I have been living under a rock for the last year, but this week I came to find out that the Hodgdon Powder Company acquired the Accurate and Ramshot brands last year. At this point, that means they have control over not only Hodgdon powder, but also anything that is labeled IMR, Winchester, Ramshot, and Accurate.

I can't help but think this is bad for the consumer, with no competition prices are bound to increase, even when supply levels (hopefully) get back to a somewhat normal level. Are there any good powder brands, readily available, that Hodgdon does not own at this point?
