Hodgdon H4895 Extreme Rifle Powder 1lb Multi-Caliber Smokeless

The Hodgdon H4895 Extreme Rifle Powder delivers consistent performance across multiple rifle calibers with temperature-stable formulation. This versatile smokeless powder maintains velocity consistency from -40°F to 140°F, making it reliable for precision shooting in any climate.

What Makes This Different

The Extreme series features temperature-insensitive formulation that reduces velocity variation by up to 50% compared to standard powders. While conventional powders can show 2-3 fps velocity change per degree of temperature, H4895 Extreme maintains consistent performance across extreme temperature ranges. This stability translates to more predictable ballistics and tighter groups at extended ranges.

Key Features

• Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent velocities from -40°F to 140°F
• Multi-caliber compatibility including .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield
• Medium burn rate suitable for cartridges from .222 Remington to .458 Winchester Magnum
• Copper fouling reducer additive helps maintain barrel accuracy longer
• Consistent kernel size and density for uniform metering
• 1-pound canister provides approximately 140-175 loads depending on cartridge
• Lot-to-lot consistency reduces need for load development adjustments

This powder excels in precision rifle applications where consistent ballistics matter most. Competition shooters rely on its temperature stability for match-grade accuracy across seasonal temperature swings. Hunters appreciate the consistent terminal performance whether shooting in sub-zero morning temperatures or afternoon heat. The medium burn rate makes it particularly effective in cartridges with case capacities between 35-70 grains of water capacity.
