Hodgdon Powder Company is a family-founded U.S. propellant manufacturer and distributor supplying smokeless, black powder, and substitute powders that underpin modern handloading for long-range, competition, and hunting shooters.
Hodgdon Powder Company is one of the central infrastructure suppliers in the shooting world, providing canister-grade propellants for reloaders, ammunition manufacturers, and institutional customers. Through ownership and distribution of multiple legacy powder brands, Hodgdon covers a wide range of burn rates and applications, from precision rifle and magnum hunting to competition and muzzleloading.
