That's nice.
Now if they'd just start shipping some powder.

I like it. It would be nice if all the powder pages did such a nice update, especially since I use a plethora of powders now due to lack of availability.

Thanks! I bookmarked this page.

There is definitely a lot of people complaining about it on Hodgdon's facebook page. I am not sure why, it does look different, but it is just as easy to use as their old setup.

One complaint that I read was the person wanted to be able to leave all fields blank except for the powder itself and get the data for it. That way you could see all possible loads that the powder could be used for (similar to Alliant's reloading data). I have to admit that would be nice to use at times like this when so many of us might be looking for a powder that will work for now until we find our favorites again.

Have they fixed the print option yet.? You used to be able to press print data then cancel it so you could see the primers used and the test barrel length. It was so slow last night I do not feel like checking tonight.

Glad I have a 3 ring binder with all the stuff I used printed already.

I have no problem with updating if there was something wrong but I do not see how this format is better?

I hate change

I think the new look will be ok once I get used to it. Print button seems to work.

Visually it's nice to have the large font & spacing but when you do a print (I save to pdf) of multiple bullet weighs for a given caliber & powder, just (5) entries fill the whole 8.5x11" page. The print out does list the case, bbl. length, primer, etc. like it did before, just a different format.

Looks like the same data and the old 7.7" barrel for the 38 special......................with both cup and psi so you can't compare a lot of loads side by side.

A few nice upgrades though.........

When it was redone, they left the barrel length/twist, primer and case out. Lot of people commented on that, then they updated.

Someone using their wby loads (wby case) in a fed case would be dangerous, as an example.

I like some of the options to select multiple powders and weights but like so many NEW and IMPROVED things on the web, it's navigation stinks. It doesn't scale to the screen being used and thus on some displays requires you to scroll and move back and forth. "Pretty fonts" and highlighted text isn't always the right answer for functionality. Spoken like a true curmudgeon

Oh, it would be nice if it gave a synopsis of the powder like flake/extruded/ball, and intended uses. In today's hunt and peck buying I'd like to type in just the powder and get some ideas about it!!!!

Yep, seems to be working better today. Guess I just need to get used to it. You can click print, cancel and the primer and barrel are on top.

I don't like the lack of bullets. I was looking for 158 grn .357, H110 and all they had was XTP. I wanted LSWC. Though I don't remember the old page.

It's there cast LSWC but not with H110. I do not think they every had it for the H110/296 powders.
