[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 856697, member: 15748"] You're close, but not quite "there." They have no manufacturing operations at all, in Shawnee Mission or otherwise. That's their home office, and that's precisely what it is; an office. They do have a packaging and shipping facility in Herrington, KS. Not quite the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there. Good place for a powder operation. Powders shipped there in bulk are repackaged into those familiar little black bottles we all know and love so much. Yes, there is some overlap there. H414, for example is W-W 760, and HP-38 is nothing more (or less) than W-W 231. All great powders, whether they arrive in a black Hodgdon's bottle or a white Winchester Olin-St.Marks can. Much of Hodgdon's line was being made for them by ADI, which has since been sold to another concern, and may have been sold since then. Hard to keep track of these days. Actually very typical for this industry, and there's a lot of this sort of thing that goes on. Nothing to worry about, and you can get good information (and powder) from any of these sources. The product lines will normally stay the same, regardless of the title of the current producer. If there's any changes, the retailer (such as Hodgdon) will be the very first to let you know. Nothing to worry about. [/QUOTE]
