Hodgdon H110 Smokeless Powder 1lb - Pistol/Magnum Shotshell

The Hodgdon H110 smokeless powder delivers consistent performance for magnum pistol cartridges and heavy shotshell loads. This spherical powder provides excellent metering characteristics and reliable ignition across temperature extremes, making it a preferred choice for serious handloaders working with high-pressure applications.

What Makes This Different

H110 stands apart from standard pistol powders through its slow burn rate and exceptional density, specifically formulated for magnum cartridges like .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .410 bore shotshells. Unlike faster-burning powders that can create erratic pressures in magnum cases, H110 provides progressive burn characteristics that maximize velocity while maintaining safe pressure curves. The spherical grain structure meters more consistently than flake powders, reducing charge weight variations that can affect accuracy and safety.

Key Features

• Slow burn rate optimized for magnum pistol cartridges and heavy shotshell loads
• Spherical grain structure provides precise metering in powder measures
• Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent velocities from -40°F to 140°F
• High bulk density allows maximum powder capacity in magnum cases
• Low copper fouling characteristics extend barrel cleaning intervals
• Compatible with standard large pistol primers and magnum primers
• 1-pound canister provides approximately 1,000-1,400 rounds depending on charge weight

Handloaders working with .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and similar cartridges will find H110 produces velocities that rival factory premium ammunition. The powder also excels in .410 bore shotshells for small game hunting and pest control applications. Its consistent burn rate eliminates the velocity variations common with multi-base powders, particularly important for hunters requiring predictable bullet placement at extended ranges.
