Is it true? I'll tell you in three years.

Many Hodgdon powders were made by ADI in Australia. Examples: ADI #APS350 = Hodgdon Clays, and ADI #APS450 = Hodgdon International. Here's what ADI announced in December 2021:

"APS Propellants – As we’ve previously informed, we’ve had to make the incredibly difficult decision to pause active development projects and cease production of commercial reloading products under the Australian Pistol & Shotgun (APS) range for the foreseeable future."

Scott, "standard trap loads" have not been 1240 or 1250 fps at any time I can remember. Most shooters see 1200 as standard and a little less if they are concerned with recoil.

Bill, my mistake, typo i ment 1140 to 1150 not 1240 to 50, thanks for finding my mistake. Yes 1250 would hurt in a 100 bird event.
