Hope they don't change a thing about the powder.

Hope they sell it cheaper.

Only change I'd like to see.

And in one pound canisters ...

x2, I might actually buy some then. As for now I’ve switched. I don’t need $45 per 10oz to kill deer at 30-40 yds.

Scary.

How long until Hodgdon is bought out by a mega holding company
like almost ever gun, scope, ammo, bullet company?
Or have they been?


Seeing as they are just a broker, not an actual powder company making things,
does it even matter much.

Everyone always feared laws imposing on our rights.
Or the big "Roundup".

Pretty easy to see the suppliers of things we want and need are now owned by
people that don't want us to have them. They like our money, but could easily
turn off our spigot.

Pretty sure Hodgdon is family owned. Companies held publicly are the ones that get scarfed up, unless the family decides it’s time to go fishin’.

Might see some more cartridge data in time.
