RE: Old E
Not bad in price.
Reg. Goex is only about $1.90 @ lb. less.
Looking forward to your report.

RE: Old E
I'm with Don about wondering if Hodgen will keep the E on line or will dump it after it has been around for a couple of years. Working up an accurate load even if the powder proves to be a good one is not cheap and also time consuming. Then having to do it all over again when it is discontinued. Just my 2 cents worth.

RE: Old E
Well, Hodgen did muck with regular Goex after they bought it.

RE: Old E
l would like to support a American made product but it has to meet my standards. If it's no good I will not use it.
Right now it will be hard to match the performance of KIK, but I will give it a shot.

Kurt that's exactly right.
KIK has set a pretty high bar for any other powders that come along.

RE: Old E
Thankee! I'll stay with KIK!!

I've found what works and just like in the days when I was shooting NRA HP....when I found a load that worked....I stayed with it! Got lots of junk to show that it did work that I brought home!

RE: Old E
I hope this is not hijacking this thread. But you guys seem to be having sucess with kik enough not to want to change. I have bought 2 lbs to try. I will be trying it in 45-70 and 45-90. My usual compression with other powders runs from .150 to .250. Is that typical of compression for kik or do you need more or less. Thanks in advance.
