[QUOTE="Sam Summey, post: 1841828, member: 109601"] My understanding is that Hodgdon doesn't "make" powder. They buy their brand from Australia. Rumor is the powder factory caught on fire and burned. Not the first time Australia has crapped in the reloader's mess kit. 5-7 years ago the source for Hodgdon Universal & Clays dried up, allegedly the governments of Aust and New Zealand reduced the amount of powder that could be shipped on one ship. Most ships leaving Aust go to NZ before heading to the US. The US demand exceeded the supply. No one likes to "develop" a new load for their pet rifle but sometime you have no other choice. IMR, Western/Accurate, Shooters World are alternatives for some powder burning speeds. [/QUOTE]
