#35: Re: What powder manufacturer do you use and why? Author: dust54, Location: Gurley, ALPosted: Sun Aug 24, 2008 4:44 am ---- I use Hodgdon, Unique (because it was given to me) and Alliant. I use mostly Hodgdon. My dad gave a load book signed by Bruce Hodgdon.
#36: Re: What powder manufacturer do you use and why? Author: wncchester, Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2008 10:37 am ---- I only use powders from IMR, Hercules/Alliant, Winchester, Hodgdon, and Norma. As was said above, whatever works to get me where I want to go.
#37: Re: What powder manufacturer do you use and why? Author: skb2706, Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 12:46 pm ---- These days it comes down to 'whats available' as opposed to what I like. I probably use more Alliant and IMR than anything else but I use every brand except VV.
#38: Re: What powder manufacturer do you use and why? Author: aznative, Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:14 pm ---- If I lived in the land of OZ, I would stick to ADI too. I use only Winchester in pistol. In my rifles, I mainly use Hodgdon, but I also use Winchester and AA2520. I too am trying to streamline my powders. On ADI's powder comparison chart, they list Varget, IMR4064, and 2520 as equivilant. I love varget and have had less perssure signs at max loads than with 4064. 2520 is one of my favorite ball powders.

Author: Morax, Location: Pittsburgh PaPosted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 4:26 pm ---- not to hijack the thread from ya paul but i have a question for you, do you find hodgdon to be a sooty powder? I use it myself and not had any complaints whatso ever with it, but some folks say they have had a rough time of it all
#41: Re: What powder manufacturer do you use and why? Author: Code4, Location: NW New South Wales AustraliaPosted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 7:53 pm ---- I use ADI and Reloader if that doesn't work. There is not much to choose from down under.

Gidday Code4. Welcome to the best kept secret on the net mate...HuntingNut. Grab a beer and pull up a stump...you will enjoy it here, a great bunch of guys.
Where abouts are you in Oz mate? I use ADI exclusively these days, well until the Spanish powder (PSB 1) I use in my shotgun runs out. You should be able to get other powders fairly easily mate...even if by mail order.
Cheers, Vince
