The Hodgdon H335 Spherical Smokeless Rifle Powder delivers consistent performance for high-volume shooters and competitive marksmen. This ball powder's uniform spherical granules meter exceptionally well through progressive reloading equipment, reducing charge weight variations that affect accuracy.
What Makes This Different
H335's spherical design flows more consistently than extruded powders, creating tighter velocity spreads shot after shot. The powder's burn rate positions it ideally between Varget and BL-C(2), making it versatile across multiple cartridge applications. Temperature stability remains excellent across seasonal variations, maintaining consistent pressures from winter hunting trips to summer competition seasons.
Key Features
- Spherical ball powder design for superior metering consistency
- Medium burn rate suitable for .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and similar cartridges
- 8-pound canister provides approximately 1,750 rounds of .223 Remington loads
- Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent velocities across weather conditions
- Clean-burning composition reduces fouling and extends barrel life
- Manufactured to strict quality control standards for lot-to-lot consistency
- Compatible with both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifle platforms
Competitive shooters appreciate H335's ability to produce sub-MOA groups when paired with proper bullets and brass preparation. The powder performs reliably in AR-15 platforms, cycling actions consistently while maintaining accuracy standards. Hunters benefit from the powder's temperature stability during early morning sits and midday tracking, ensuring point-of-impact remains predictable across varying conditions.
