Hodgdon® Announces the Passing of Co-Founder JB Hodgdon​

It is with profound sadness that Hodgdon shares the passing of John Brewster “JB” Hodgdon, who passed away on June 13, 2025 at the age of 88. A lifelong resident of Kansas, JB was born on October 16, 1936 to Bruce and Amy Hodgdon. JB grew up in suburban Kansas City and was extremely active in his hometown community with first responders, Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America), and the classic car community holding special places in his heart. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1959 with a degree in Business.

In his career, Mr. Hodgdon held many roles at the Hodgdon Powder Company. In the early days, he packaged powder at the family dining room table. He led international sales and served as the face of Hodgdon at industry trade shows. He served on the Hodgdon board in various roles, including Board Chair, for many years and was named Chairman Emeritus in 2025. With his brother Bob, JB Hodgdon continued the legacy of Hodgdon Powder Company started by his father and grew the company into the preeminent supplier of gunpowder and black powder substitutes for handloading and muzzleloading enthusiasts. Hunting trophies from around the world and his firearm collection in his home and Hodgdon offices are a testament to his passion for hunting and shooting.

“I have been associated with the Hodgdon family and JB Hodgdon for more than five decades,” said Tom Shepherd, Chairman of the Board at Hodgdon. “JB was a first-rate owner, an incredible professional and a valued friend and counselor to work for during my career. He will be deeply missed.”
JB was a devoted annual supporter of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a lifetime benefactor member of the NRA, a life member of the Kansas State Rifle Association and a member of the Safari Club of America, Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, and the National 4-H Shooting Sports. He was deeply devoted to supporting youth involvement in the shooting sports through his work with Philmont Scout Ranch, Scouting America’s National High-Adventure Base in Cimarron, New Mexico. JB and his wife Anne, through their charitable foundation, enhanced Philmont’s ability to support our nation’s next generation of hunters and shooters with a focus on safety. JB was inducted into the National Shooting Sports Foundation Hall of Fame (2020) and a co-recipient with his brother Bob of the NRA’s Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award (2009). Additionally in 2009, JB received the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence Award.

JB is survived by his beloved wife of 28 years, Anne, along with his four sons, two stepchildren, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Though JB has left us, the legacy he leaves — of family, faith, hard work, and love for shooting and the outdoors — will continue to guide all of those who knew him.

Yep they actually had a man hunt for a jaywalker and then ran him over a Tulsa officer was also hit by the patrol car and no mention was made in the reports of “accidentally” running over the dangerous jaywalker . They were so scared of a man laying on the ground they forgot to mention that part .

The Tulsa PD has assured the public that no department policy was violated and jaywalking will not be tolerated unless part of a BLM riot.

Im looking at getting into a 6mm cartridge bolt gun (6gt or 6dasher..havent decided between the two) to primarily shoot some local PRS matches.

I know the MPA factory builds with the CDG action are a very good deal especially with the PRS discount code. I really like the matrix pro2 chassis, but im not married to it (or even a chassis for that matter). I'm not opposed to buying an action/prefit barrel and "assembling" this, but I've never done that before. Looking up some of the costs of components it almost seemed like a much better deal to go with something like the MPA, and I wouldn't have to deal with assembly.

Anything else in that $2400-3k I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance.

Selling my lightly used SB PMII 6-36 in RAL 7002 (mouse grey) with MSR2 reticle. Glass, illumination, and tracking are perfect. As shown, there is some turret rash on the illumination knob.

Please DM with questions or to buy.

SOLD. Not looking for trades at this time.

Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

By Emma Tranter

Department of National Defence says replacements will cost $8-10M

Rifles issued to the Canadian Rangers in Canada’s Arctic don’t work properly in the cold — and it’s going to cost millions to fix.

C-19 rifles were distributed to the Rangers, who serve the Canadian Armed Forces in the North, in 2017.

Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) told CBC News in an email that extreme cold led to the stocks — a part of a gun attached to the barrel and firing mechanism that provides structural support — expanding and contracting. Something the department said Rangers noticed during testing in 2019.

“Following reports from Canadian Rangers after extended field usage in extreme climatic conditions leading to cycles of expansion and contraction in the stock,” Alex Tétreault, a senior communications adviser with DND, wrote.

“This was not observed during initial operational capability training; it only became apparent in the last two months before the end of deliveries.”

Those stocks now need to be replaced and the department estimates that will cost between eight to $10 million.

The department said the C-19 rifle “remains an effective and accurate weapon” and that some of the rifles are still working properly and don’t need replacements.

The procurement process for the new stocks is underway and the delivery of the new stocks will be phased over three years.

Hey All,

Going through messages and the enhanced security has some people flustered.

We increased the security to also include inactive accounts due to the large number of outside hacks that compromised shared passwords. Your login was hacked somewhere else, you used the same password and email combo, they found you here and logged on. That is the majority of the issues beyond the spoofed accounts.

Spoofed accounts were when the scammers used a similar User name changing something small you didn't notice. They see who has things listed in the PX, pick a user and try to clone them as they can. We changed that again to try and prevent it. It's hard, they can add minor things to a user name and make it look similar.

The headache this caused was the worst as then people are reporting the real account, the scammers report the real account and nobody knows who is real and who is a scammers. We get flooded with reports, we then have to watch the real account because every scammed person reports the real user as they think that is the account that scammed them. It;s not

So all hands, we change a ton that also inconveniences real accounts for a minute, sorry it's like the airport, we all have to take our shoes off to check for smelly feet.

Please continue to report any account, especially low post counts that contact you unsolicited.

Lastly, we are manually approving X number posts on new accounts. That means new accounts that post will not immediately appear on the screen. We have a queue for use to clear each hour if we wanted too, but we clear a few times a day. This way we can double check accounts and remove the ones we know are scammers.

If you are using the PX, slow down, take a minute to look at the user name, and especially the post count. It will not match the original poster you actually want to speak too. This is a process and we took at big swing at it. So please be patience. We cleared out a lot, but because they can hack older accounts or ones with passwords found on other places there is really no way to stop them 100%.

Also we can recover hacked accounts so don't assume an older issue is active today because a month ago an account was hacked and today it's being use. We can fix and recover accounts, so again, slow down, look and don't assume.

Thanks for your patience we are working on stuff everyday to enhance security and the experience

Couldn't resist since it's working. An Air Force N-8a reflx/holographic/heads up gunsight from WWII. Used on M2 .50 machine guns in the B-17. I'm thinking it will go great with my Elysium AK. I'll have to install a dual 9v in series (18v) battery box, probably in the buttstock.

So had a problem with my barrel getting really fouled with Varget (first time I've used it). Traditionally be a H4350 or 4064 user. Does Varget just run dirty? Is it the move to a smaller bore (I've trad shot 6.5 and 30)? Am I unlucky (very well could be).

Also shot a ton with a can.

I've got a Bul Ultralight and I got a DSC drop-in barrel with their twin top port comp for it.

I've got a weird issue, tested it and found that the Sig Elite 124gr hollow points are accurate and shoot great, the Hornady 124gr critical duty are accurate and shoot great.

However, I cannot for the life of me find a normal fmj practice round that shoots similar POA/POI.

And one of the odd things with this new barrel combo is how far away one type of ammo may shoot from the next, it has an adjustable rear sight with 3 dashes, one on far left, one in middle, one on far right.

at 25 yards the Hornady critical duty needs to be in the center mark, so, perfect you might say. The Sig Elite needs to be all the way over on the far left hash mark.

And that's actually the most common, the Hornady Critical Duty rounds are really the only ones that shoot with the rear sight centered, most others shoot 12+ inches to the right so the rear sight needs to be moved all the way over to the left. The 115s I just tried were also about 14" low.

Thing is, I'm running about 2 1/2" sized groups at 25yds with both the Hornady critical duty and Sig Elite rounds, this is freehand as I would normally shoot but about 1 second a shot, this is great accuracy for me. I also shot some 3" or so sized groups with a couple of the practice rounds tested.

I've tried multiple 147s, 124s, and a 115 to the tune of about $200 in a bunch of different brands. Just ordered another $180 in 115s, 124s, and 147s to try.


But I'm kind of at a loss because as of yet nothing is close enough to those two great shooting defense rounds, HSTs didn't shoot as well as they did, nothing has, quite frankly, so I'd really love to use one of them.


I'm just wondering if someone has found a similar issue and maybe has some advice, both are 124gr rounds but I've been trying 115s through 147s to try and find a match, ordered some hot 1300fps 115s to try in this next batch too.

Last thing I want is to have to resort to shooting the defense rounds for practice, as I just don't have the money for that.

Trying to thin the herd a little more likely will be added!!
