Interesting- a lot of complaints that this is moving toward monopoly, but Hodgdon is a label and ship company- powders are made all over the world. Hopefully this means that distribution is improved (a store can order from less companies), giving economies of scale- and hopefully lower prices, though likely the same price and higher margins (otherwise, why buy another company).
My one complaint about Hodgdon is their load data is so weak- weak being not close to max. One on cartridge I was looking at it's max load was Lee's minimum load.
