Good, these companies need to get out from under the large conglomerates.
RCBS has been passed around several times since the founder let it go.
It would be interesting to see the market share numbers between the competitors like Lee, Hornady, Dillion and others. I don't think I've ever seen that.

So what all does Hodgdon own now? Is there a powder besides Vhitavouri (sp) that they don't have?
Sounds like a good move for consumers.
Time will tell if the move is a good one or not for the consumer.
RCBS lifetime warranty could fade away.

I hope not!
Hodgdon now owns:

IMR
Winchester powders
Ramshot
RCBS
I wish that they could have bought CCI before it was sold off, along with Alliant powders and several other ATK brands, to the Eastern Bloc oligarch. Regardless, I fear that these huge capital venture conglomerates are NOT good for the shooting sports long term, even though I better appreciate when they are held by a longstanding American company with deep roots in the sport/industry.

Interesting. Not good, in my view.
RCBS prices will climb. I wager their Customer Service is now 1 part-time chicklett.
And for sure lifetime is now 1 year.
