[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2832409, member: 10755"] This statement by Hodgdon is absolutely laughable! They DO NOT, and NEVER HAVE made a single kernel of powder! They buy it, package it and distribute it…PERIOD. Another thing, their data is sourced ELSEWHERE or from QL… All the powder with the Extreme brand, H1000 etc, is made here in Australia and always has been, except for the original H4831 that was copied. All powder lots are tested with a calorimeter bomb, this is NOT the same as a cartridge within a barrel, it tests heat, pressure and time. I have asked for the results, powder amounts used and have been told it is not for public information, it is proprietary and private and will never be released, I was an employee there at the time. So, yes the powder is tested, but not by Hodgdon. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
