Pete,
I hope you're wrong. I only have one tub left!

Re: lil gun
Edgar Bros are the main Hodgdon importers - give them a ring.

I have just got off the 'phone to Edgar Bros,and the young lady has said that there isn't any truth in Lil'Gun NOT being imported to the UK,and there are lots of stock at Edgar Bros.

Re: lil gun
Sounds like a well informed gun shop you use! Or were they just trying to get rid of some of the stuff they over-stocked?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: lil gun
The only problem with Hodgdon powders is the fact that Edgar Bros are unwilling to sell through Tim Hannams (or whatever they are calling themselves now) - less competition and probably higher prices ensue and the shooter loses out again.
I have never liked dealing with Edgar Bros and would never personally deal with them in the future.

Re: lil gun
Edgar Brothers are trade only, so there are many dealers apart from Hannams to buy from,I suppose it depends on which dealer you use.Here in Kent all the dealers that i've used are stocking Lil'Gun,apart from Tisme's( and I can guess who they are,Can't I Pete?)dodgyrog wrote:The only problem with Hodgdon powders is the fact that Edgar Bros are unwilling to sell through Tim Hannams (or whatever they are calling themselves now) - less competition and probably higher prices ensue and the shooter loses out again.
