Hodgdon closing GOEX plant

It's stronger but you wont be able to tell just by shooting it. Everybody is out of stock right now. I get it from Powder Inc. but they're out of stock until May. Shipping and hazmat is included in the price.

It’s remarkable how little recoil is felt with the premium powders considering their high velocity (OE, Swiss). They’re like good whiskey, powerful and mellow.

The Minden plant was obsolete when it was built. The only value I see is possibly IP and permits.

The Minden plant used three five ton wheel mills from a former black powder plant in South Africa. Batch size of each mill is limited to 300 pounds.

GOEX management never got it right; as evidenced by the number of fires and kabooms. The 1911 explosion was most likely caused by a worker tossing floor sweepings into the batch.

The new owner of the GOEX plant, assuming there is one, will be required to obtain permits and licenses.
