PB has already been rebranded as Hodgdon. An 8 pounder I got last month had a mfg lot date of 1/23/2014 and was labeled "Hodgdon" - with no mention of "IMR" as in the past. It also was labeled "Made in Canada" ..... no doubt made at the former IMR Powder plant that's now owned/operated by General Dynamics.

But has anyone seen 7625 or 4756 in containers that were labeled Hodgdon and not IMR? I haven't.

Of the three named (PB, 7625 and 4756) I personally believe PB probably had/has the highest demand. Could it be that Hodgdon relented on discontinuing PB but is going forward with its plans to discontinue marketing 7625 and 4756?
