Welcome to the

Hodgdon Shop

Bruce Hodgdon was an avid reloader during his time in the Navy during WWII. Along the way, he learned the US Government burned huge stocks of surplus powder after WWI, and he figured there would likely be surpluses again after 1945. He stored the first 50,000 pounds of surplus 4895 in an old boxcar on a rented pasture and placed a 1-inch ad in American Rifleman, Hodgdon Powder was born! In 1963 and 1964 Hodgdon was instrumental in changes to US shipping regulations to allow shipments of powder by common carriers like UPS and Fedex, opening the reloading market to nearly everyone in the country. Today Hodgdon is well-known by all reloaders for their rifle reloading powder, pistol reloading powder, shotgun reloading powder, and muzzleloader powder, all offered by MidwayUSA. Powders such as Varget, H4350, Retumbo, Clays, H1000, TiteGroup, CFE 223, H4831, H110, Trail-Boss, StaBall, and Pyrodex can all be purchased online.
