Hodgdon powder ???? answer from hodgdon!

[GP100man]

when did hodgdon start puttin data on there labels ??
i have found a # of h-110 that does`nt have it in my powder locker.


my lot of powder was manufactured in `88 & was told if stored correctly it would last another 30 years. ball powders have the longest life of any powders made currently.

Good question. I always thought the data was pretty much useless since they cover just one loading for a particular caliber.

Interesting. But I'm not sure if it's a question of when Hodgdon started putting load data on their labels, or if it's a question of what TYPES of Hodgdon powders Hodgdon includes load data on their labels. What I mean is, I have some H-380 and some Lil'Gun, both of which have load data on their labels. Yet I also have some HS-6 and some H-4831, neither of which has load data on their labels. And it has nothing to do with how long ago I bought the powders - the H-380 and Lil'Gun are both easily 5 years old, but I bought the HS-6 and H-4831 last year - just before that notorious election caused loading components to become hard to find.
It's still a good question. I just think Hodgdon might be better qualified to answer it.
