Honestly, it’s a bit contentious. I tend to trust the data, but I always start at the lower end and work my way up!

I’m really impressed with Hodgdon’s high gun load data. I’ve been using their Accurate No. 5 and the performance is fantastic compared to others I’ve tried. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Definitely! I’ve had great results with Hodgdon as well. Their powders are consistent and I’ve found them to be superior to some of the budget brands. What specific loads are you using?
I’ve switched between Hodgdon and IMR, and while IMR has great data, Hodgdon feels more reliable. It’s worth the price difference in my opinion.
Reliability is key! I’ve also noticed Hodgdon’s availability is better than some competitors. Anyone else notice this?
I agree, but pricing can vary a lot! Last time I checked, Hodgdon was higher priced than similar brands. Anyone found good deals on Hodgdon products recently?
I’ve seen some sales online! Sometimes local shops have good promos too, worth checking out. What’s the go-to for you all regarding load recipes?
I’ve been using 12 gauge loads from Hodgdon and I’m pretty happy with them. They definitely pack a punch compared to some others I’ve used. Just wish the price was a bit more friendly.
Totally! Maybe we should start a petition for price reductions? Just kidding! But seriously, they work well.

Hodgdon’s data seems to be spot on most times, but sometimes I wonder if it’s too much hype? I’ve had mixed results with some loads, what’s a good fallback if they don’t work?
