Hodgdon H50BMG Extreme Powder 50 BMG 8 lb Canister

The Hodgdon H50BMG Extreme powder delivers consistent velocities and exceptional accuracy for 50 BMG cartridge reloading. This temperature-stable propellant maintains performance across extreme weather conditions, making it the preferred choice for precision long-range shooting and match competition.

What Makes This Different

H50BMG belongs to Hodgdon's Extreme series, featuring advanced temperature stability that reduces velocity variation by up to 40% compared to standard powders. The spherical grain structure meters consistently through powder measures, while the deterrent coating provides uniform burn rates. This formulation specifically addresses the unique pressure requirements of the 50 BMG cartridge case capacity.

Key Features

• Extreme temperature stability reduces velocity spread across -40°F to 125°F
• Spherical powder design ensures consistent metering and charge weights
• Optimized burn rate specifically engineered for 50 BMG case capacity
• Copper fouling reducer additive minimizes barrel maintenance
• Flash suppressant reduces muzzle signature for tactical applications
• 8-pound canister provides approximately 1,000+ rounds of ammunition
• Lot-to-lot consistency maintains load data reliability

Field testing demonstrates H50BMG's ability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy in precision rifles while delivering consistent chronograph readings. The powder performs reliably in both bolt-action precision rifles and semi-automatic platforms. Match shooters report improved group consistency at 1,000+ yard distances, while the temperature stability proves essential for military and law enforcement applications across diverse climates.
