H-50 BMG Discontinued

[Dmay]

Just off the phone with a fellow at Hodgedon. Rumor is true as of yesterday.
Apparently US 869 outsells it so the decision was made to drop H50.
Still some stock in Canada....but I imagine it may disappear quickly.

Ugh. Just ordered the last 2 lbs from my LGS. At 25-27 rounds/lb, a pound of powder doesn’t last very long.

I wonder if they will increase production of US869 as both .50 BMG shooters and the long-range magnum types use it - .338 LM, etc.

Well crap! Might have to scoop up a few more pounds

Thanks for the heads-up. Reloder 50 coming on board a few years ago probably cut severely into sales for H50BMG.
