This happened last year but was news to me. Glad RCBS is out of Vista Outdoors.
Hodgdon Powder Company purchased RCBS Reloading from Revelyst, a segment of Vista Outdoor, early this month. “This acquisition of RCBS, the leading brand in metallic reloading tools, is a perfect complement to our portfolio of smokeless powder brands for our handloading customers,” said Steve Kehrwald, president and CEO of Hodgdon Powder Company. “With our world-class ballistics labs, we look forward to providing even more load data to our new RCBS customers.”
The move adds RCBS—based in Oroville, Calif.—to facilities Hodgdon already owned in Shawnee, Kan., Herington, Kan., and Miles City, Mont. It also more than doubles the headcount at the Hodgdon Powder Company and greatly expands the firm’s manufacturing capabilities.
