Bruce Hodgdon, a Navy veteran and expert reloader, was working as a salesperson when he learned that the United States military intended to trash hundreds of barrels of unused powder after WWII. Though he was unsure whether there would be a commercial market for the surplus powder, he took a chance and purchased 50,000 lbs of surplus 4895 powder (using a lien against his life insurance policy). Stored in a boxcar and mostly transported with the family car, this represented the beginning of B. E. Hodgdon, Inc., which would be formally established in 1952. Hodgdon, a respected industry pioneer, is always developing newer and better smokeless powder and black powder replacements. Pyrodex, which was introduced in 1972, has remained immensely popular among muzzleloaders year after year.
