The Hodgdon HP38 Spherical Smokeless Handgun Powder delivers consistent performance for target shooting and competition applications. This fast-burning powder produces clean combustion with minimal residue buildup in handgun chambers and barrels. HP38 meters exceptionally well through progressive reloading equipment due to its spherical granulation.
What Makes This Different
HP38 features a spherical grain structure that flows smoothly through powder measures, reducing charge weight variations compared to flake powders. The clean-burning formulation minimizes fouling and extends time between detailed cleanings. This powder maintains consistent velocities across temperature ranges from 0°F to 125°F, making it suitable for year-round shooting activities.Key Features
