Has anyone ordered product from the Hodgdon Powder Co. website? The prices look suspiciously low and we all know some unscrupulous types have set up scam sites that take advantage of people seeking reloading supplies. I know the one site that was mentioned here selling primers that turned out to be a total rip-off.

Thanks all. In the end, I ordered my stuff from Western Metals.

I don't know about now but they used to be crazy expensive.

**EDIT** Yup, I just checked and some of their prices are insane. Ultimately I guess it depends on what you're looking for, but just as an example, they want $731.99 for an 8lb jug of 231. That makes my slightly high EE price look like I'm giving it away for free! lol.

Every time I checked through they years, they have been really high prices.

There's no great place to buy Hodgon powder these days. Cabelas is about as good as anyone, especially if you live near a store.

I'd be calling Neerlandia Coop.

What about

HIGGINSON POWDERS INC.​

They are great to deal with.

You can be sure they have the least expensive prices in Canada. Do not waste your time looking elsewhere if they have what you want. Excellent and fast service as well.
 
Western Metal is where I get most of my reloading components and powder from.
Most recent purchase was 3lbs of *unicorn*.
As far as I know they ship anything for free over $300, no shipping fee on my recent 3lbs of powder.

*""* = H-4895

Decent people to deal with but way to expensive

I always check crappy tire.
Found 3lbs of titegroup for $36/lb a couple months ago.
Last week picked up 3 lbs of CFE223 for 60/lb.

It's always worth a look.

Damn I wish our local CT would carry powder and guns, but they carry only ammo!

If it’s in stock and doesn’t take credit card payments then it’s 100% a scam.

There are a number of legitimate vendors that take debit only.

It is a possible indication of a scam but other identifiers on tge site also need to be checked for authenticity.
