Consumer Products

Murphy Powder has been a major distributor to the reloading market for over 40 years. During this period we have actively pursued and maintained a reputation for integrity among our jobbers, who, in turn, channel our quality products to the valued end-user, the individual handloader.

We do not send out catalogs across the country, nor do we participate in retail sales. Our interest and commitment applies to, and relies completely on, an appointed jobber distribution network of legitimate businesses. This network abides by all Federal, State, and Local laws governing safe-and-legal storage, handling, shipping, and distribution of gunpowder and related products.

The Murphy Company is an original factory-appointed and factory-approved master powder distributor covering the eleven Western states. We stock all major brands of smokeless powders, and treat each jobbers’ needs and situations on an individual basis.
