#GOEX

In the grand scheme of things, rocket motors aren’t too far off from black powder propellants in terms of what both compounds do. Estes Energetics, a newly formed company born from the well-known Estes Industries rocket motor company, has made plans to continue the legacy that the GOEX has built by acquiring the company from Hodgdon. Back in September of 2021, Hodgdon made the decision to shut down the GOEX production facility which was a disappointment to both black powder shooters and general gun owners alike. Thankfully, the small model rocket motor company has not only picked up the GOEX line but has created an entirely new company around it.

Hodgdon Powder Company, Inc. the owners of the GOEX and Olde Eynsford black powder brands, have announced that they will shut down their black powder manufacturing arm and close their manufacturing operations in Camp Minden, Louisiana. The news will come as a shock to black powder shooters and reloaders who rely on GOEX and Olde Eynsford products.
