steve_b_wales Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm not sure if it was on here that I read that certain powders (Hodgdon) especially, won't be imported to the UK after June 2018. Any idea's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) It's due to final implementation of the EU regulations REACH. Some comply a lot do not, the shops can sell any they have in stock but no new stock can be imported. I am sure somebody will be long with better information as their is a list of the ones that do not comply like Varget.

pinfireman Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Another reason to stick it to the EU...! Let,s hope that this gets binned when we are finally out of the EU shambles ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 All Hogden powders, along with IMR (all bar the new fully compliant Enduron and shotgun powders) won't be imported after June 2018 and this includes popular powders such as Varget and H4350. There's still loads of compliant powders, including all European made powders and some Alliant branded powders (such as Reloader 17) which are just re-branded Reload Swiss made by Nitrochemie. There's also powders sold by Vhitavouri and Ramshot, all which comply as well as some not yet tested which may yet be found compliant suvh as CFE223. You can still buy all of these now and will be able to buy them after July 2018, but suppliers won't be able to import any more following then. There'll be no shortage of suitable alternatives to Hogdon and IMR for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of buying 2 tubes each of the Hodgdon brand, which with what I have already, and the amount I shoot, will last me for at least 18 months or more.

Graham M Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I no longer have my .22 Hornet, so have a tub and a half of Lil'Gun going spare for silly money if anyone needs it. Think it's @ £35 a tub so if anyone wants to give me £30 for the tub & half (I have poured them into one tub so it's filled almost to the top).
