According to a friend at Hodgdon Powder Company they became sole owner of Goex as of this morning. Starting Monday January 5th Tom Shepard, President of Hodgdon will also assume the title of President of Goex.

Hodgdon's plan is to leave manufacturing where it is and to aggressively promote sales and improve distribution.

Thanks for the heads up Falcon!

I'll also get a case of Pinnacle 3Fg before any crazy changes come into effect

I would not expect to see much in the way of change in the GOEX plant operations. It's a profitable company and Hodgdon isn't stupid. GOEX makes a lot of powder for military application. What might be good is if GOEX products get worked into the Hodgdon/IMR distribution system.

Maybe this will improve Pinnacle distribution in my neck of the woods.

Pinnacle ismade by APP. Not sure that Hodgdon will continue to sell powder made by a competitor.

Especially since it was Hodgden that sued them when they were clean shot and put them out of business over the pellets. They came back under the APP name with the sticks.I'm sure APP doesn't like Hodgden after that ordeal.
