News today that Hodgdon has acquired Ramshot, Accurate and Blackhorn 209 from Western Powder company.
Hmmmm, wonder if they'll screw w the "overlapping" burn rate offerings? Dropping some, benefitting the bottom line and stockholders of course, if publicly held. Another potential wrench in the works.
Hodgdon or the others doesnt make any powder as far as i know. A few places in the world makes it all for all the brandsWOW.... I thought Accurate Arms powder was Israli made...
After looking I guess it,s made in Belgium....

40-50 years ago this wasn't true but it was already starting to take hold. IMR and Alliante I "think" made powder but they couldn't keep up w/Bruce Hodgdon. He was a shooter and experimenter but not a powder manufacturer. He was just a VERY smart guy. GaryHodgdon or the others doesnt make any powder as far as i know.

man I hope you are wrong. Who needs gun control when...Soon, there will be ONE powder distributor in this country.
And HE will set the prices.
This country has come to embrace monopolies. It's a very, very bad thing.
