He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
Interesting man. Press release from Hodgdon.
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
I was at the Shot Show when we were notified that Bruce, Bob's Dad and founder of the powder company had died in a plane crash on his way to that show It sure cast a shadow over the show. The Hodgdon family means a lot to every reloader, whether they actually know it or not.

Shooters serving Shooters! I was alarmed when Hodgdons acquired so many powder companies. I feared they would “stick it to us with high prices. Granted we have experienced price shock but I believe it’s beyond Hodgdons control.
I called the company just once to complain that they needed to promote HS6 more for upper mid range large bore revolver loads. My reasoning was that without such a push, they might decide to drop that powder.
Whomever answered the phone told me not to worry, because they sell a LOT of that powder already, and there was no reason to drop it.
Great people, great powder, great service!
RIP Bob
