Revelyst Announces Sale of RCBS
ANOKA, Minn., May 02, 2024--Revelyst, a segment of Vista Outdoor, announced the sale of RCBS, the company’s Oroville, California-based reloading brand, to Hodgdon Powder.
likewise kinda stinks Hodgdon will jack up the prices just like they did with Ramshot and Accurate powders , the more of the market they own they can set whatever price they wantI could also see it heading south with prices going north…
There's a lot of good people still in California, though many are leaving in droves, many can't. RCBS employs a good number of them. You are not buying from California, you are buying from conservatives who are stuck in California. RCBS still casts and builds many cast iron presses in their own local factory.....like the Rock Chucker, the Summit, the AmmoMaster II and the new Rebel.....the best one yet. I choose to support them, not California. One more thing......California "needs" such good people and companies if they are to change.Interesting, but I avoid buying anything made in California. Hopefully Hodgdon will move production to a state that respects and honors the 2nd Amendment.
Even I thought maybe the Aluminum presses like the ProChucker 7 were made outside the USA......not so.RCBS - Made In America For 80 Years
RCBS has been manufacturing premium reloading tools in Oroville, California for over 80 years. While the neighborhood and manufacturing technology have changed, the American pride we take in making your reloading gear has not.
All of our products are designed here in the U.S., and over 97% of them are made in the United States. This includes all of our dies, presses, mechanical powder throwers, shell holders, bushings, and more. However, a short list of products are manufactured globally in countries like Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, and China. Want to know where a product is made? Simply look at the product's listing on our website or give us a call. Our customer service in Oroville, California or Overland Park, Kansas will be happy to assist you.
I actually admire them for holding their ground and refusing to be chased out.Interesting, but I avoid buying anything made in California. Hopefully Hodgdon will move production to a state that respects and honors the 2nd Amendment.
Did you click on "Support" on the home page? If you do, a drop down list of options includes "Military VIP Program". I didn't pursue if further. Hope it helps.I guess this explains it, I tried to log in yesterday and had issues. Notes on top of web page indicated I might need to create a new account. I created a new account and it looks like my VIP (mil, LE) pricing is not available. Anyone know the status of that? I tried calling, and got "an outside of normal business hours" message.
The only way CA will stop trampling on gun owner rights is when people refuse to do business with them or any company that manufactures within the state. When you purchase from RCBS, you are in effect giving money to California’s gov’t. You’re also paying more for a product that could be made cheaper elsewhere, like TX or another southern state.There's a lot of good people still in California, though many are leaving in droves, many can't.

I don't totally disagree with you but I think it is important to remember the people who live and work in California are Americans. Rest assured business owners in CA let the state know their position. And rest assured the middle and working class let the state know their dismay. Any business owner is employing Americans that live there and not everyone has the ability or desire to just pick up and go. CA is jacked up state for sure but they are also huge contributors to the national economy and national defense and we should be thankful there are businesses employing people to live very precarious lives earning little money in a super expensive state.The only way CA will stop trampling on gun owner rights is when people refuse to do business with them or any company that manufactures within the state.

RCBS should be admonished for capitulating to California’s rabid assault on gun ownership. And for that reason, I’m done with them.
Hodgdon Powder Company operates following Biblical principles to honor God.

In doing so, we deal with integrity and honesty, reflecting that people are more important than dollars, and that our purpose is to bring credit to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hmmmm. Lots of businesses profess honoring God and good for them. I find this statement to be quite over the top. This business is not following any model of Trinitarian Christianity. They are following the capitalist model of profit. While the founders may subscribe to Christianity, I think the company statement is pandering to Christian customers. All for businesses professing faith but show me how their business model has the "purpose" of honoring our Lord Jesus Christ.This tells me all I need to know about Hodgdon. https://hodgdonpowderco.com/hodgdon/
I saw a sign at a gun store that said, "In God we trust. Everyone else pay cash!"show me how their business model has the "purpose" of honoring our Lord Jesus Christ.
