H110/W296 Observations

Dale,
That's a great offer. I'm sorry I don't live that close to Ohio, though.

Thanks for your kind offer.
 
GUNS magazine did an article on St. Marks Powder Co a few years back. They manufacture most of the powder sold in the US, whether it's branded Hodgdon, Winchester , Alliant , IMR , etc. Used to be owned by Winchester/Olin , now owned by ATK/Alliant. H-110/W-296 is not the only Hodgdon/Winchester powder that is the same. HP-38 really is the same as W-231 , H-414 really is W-760 and so on.

I believe St. Marks is owned and operated by General Dynamics. It is my understanding that Alliant production is in Radford Va. Unless this has changed which it may have IMR powders were produced in Canada.
 
I have found that buying the upper end cast bullets from Beartooth Bullets or Montana Bullet Works, is the best way to go for me. They make outstanding bullets, and it amazes me how the technology has changed. You can even order bullets that are specifically made for hunting, or target shooting, and they will size the bullets to your needs....and the dimensions and weights are dead on the money.

flat top, PM sent.

Cheers
