When a 38.0 grain charge behind a 52 grain bullet produced one hole groups from his 22-caliber wildcat (now known as the 22-250), he christened the powder H380. H380 also performs admirably in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts, and other good varmint cartridges.

This spherical powder was developed for military use and is ideal for the 5.56 NATO/223 Remington. The 222 Remington and other varmint cartridges have a variety of applications. Prairie dog shooters will like this, as has J.B. Hodgdon for many years!

Nitrocellulose propellants emit significantly less smoke and flash than black powder and provide significantly more mechanical work per unit weight. Other advantages of smokeless powder include its enhanced storage stability, reduced erosive effects on cannon bores, and improved control over its rate of burning.

H380 is also a superb performer in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts and other fine varmint cartridges. Available in 1 lb. and 8 lb.

There are various advantages of using smokeless powder instead of black powder. First, smokeless powder is almost three times as potent as black powder, allowing for greater range and smaller caliber munitions. As a result, a soldier can carry more rounds and is less concerned about smoke revealing his position.
