HODGDON REVOLUTIONAIZES RELOADING DATA

April 2007

For Immediate Release

Shawnee Mission, Ks, 23 April 2007: Today from his office at Hodgdon Powder Company corporate headquarters in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, Mike Daly head of Hodgdon Customer Satisfaction, announced the introduction of the company’s new web based Reloading Data Center, also know as RDC. Mike said “ The RDC will allow reloaders from around the world to access the same load recipe database used by the Hodgdon Customer Service staff to answer customer questions.” Mike went on to say, “ Day or night, weekday or weekend the public now has access to thousands of loads for rifle, pistol and shotshell using the 52 powders we supply to the canister market. And, it’s available at no charge.”

RDC can be accessed from www.hodgdon.com, www.wwpowder.com, or www.imrpowder.com. No matter which website gateway is used, data for Hodgdon, IMR and Winchester powders are available in the RDC. The RDC is supplied with a print function that will format data into a printer friendly chart that fits neatly onto standard printer paper. Selected data may also be emailed directly from the RDC to a separate remote computer or handheld data management device such as a PDA or cell phone.

RDC is the most innovative source of reloading data delivery ever offered by the shooting industry. No other single source offers the shear volume of data that can be found on the RDC. With data for 144 rifle cartridges, 84 pistol cartridges and 5 shotgun gauges, the RDC leads the way in reloading data.
