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 tight groups across multiple calibers while maintaining excellent metering properties through progressive presses.
What Makes This Different
Tite Group burns cleaner than most fast pistol powders, leaving significantly less fouling in barrels and actions. The spherical granulation flows through powder measures with exceptional consistency, reducing charge weight variations that can affect accuracy. Independent testing shows this powder produces 30% less residue compared to traditional fast-burning propellants while maintaining similar velocities.
Key Features
- Fast-burning rate ideal for light target loads and standard pressure ammunition
- Spherical powder granulation ensures consistent metering and charge weights
- Clean-burning formula reduces barrel fouling and extends cleaning intervals
- Works effectively in calibers from .32 ACP through .45 ACP and similar cases
- Temperature stable performance maintains velocities across seasonal variations
- 8-pound container provides approximately 1,000+ rounds of .45 ACP loads
- Compatible with standard and magnum primers depending on load data
Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent velocities that translate to predictable point of impact across extended shooting sessions. The reduced smoke production improves visibility during rapid-fire sequences, while the clean-burning characteristics minimize maintenance between matches. Law enforcement agencies report excellent function in duty pistols with reduced cleaning requirements during qualification courses.
