The Hodgdon Tite Group smokeless powder delivers consistent performance for high-volume pistol reloaders seeking clean-burning propellant with minimal residue. This fast-burning powder produces excellent accuracy across popular pistol calibers while maintaining low flash characteristics ideal for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Tite Group stands apart from standard pistol powders through its exceptionally clean combustion properties, leaving significantly less fouling than traditional propellants. The powder's spherical granulation ensures consistent metering through progressive presses and powder measures. Burn rates remain stable across temperature variations, providing reliable velocities from 32°F to 125°F operating conditions.
Key Features
- Clean-burning formula reduces barrel fouling and extends cleaning intervals
- Fast burn rate optimized for 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .38 Special cartridges
- Spherical powder granules meter consistently through all powder measure types
- Low muzzle flash characteristics ideal for indoor ranges and low-light conditions
- Temperature-stable performance maintains velocity consistency across weather conditions
- 4-pound container provides approximately 1,750-2,000 loaded rounds depending on charge weight
- Manufactured to strict quality standards with lot-to-lot consistency testing
Competitive shooters rely on Tite Group for match-grade accuracy in USPSA and IDPA competition loads, where consistent velocities translate directly to predictable point of impact. Law enforcement agencies specify this powder for duty ammunition due to its reliable ignition and reduced muzzle flash. The clean-burning characteristics prove especially valuable for high-volume training scenarios where frequent cleaning disrupts practice schedules.
