Hodgdon Clays smokeless gun powder canister for shotshell and target load reloading

Product Description

Built for Target Loads

Skeet and trap shooters need a powder that burns clean and meters consistently, shot after shot. Hodgdon Clays delivers exactly that. This fast-burning shotshell powder is a favorite among target shooters who load high volumes of ammunition and need reliable, repeatable results.

Fast-Burning, Low Residue

Hodgdon Clays burns quickly and efficiently. As a result, it produces less felt recoil in target loads, which matters when you’re shooting hundreds of rounds in a single session. In addition, its clean-burning formula reduces fouling, so your shotgun stays cleaner across a long day at the range.

Versatile Beyond Shotshells

While Clays is best known as a shotshell powder, many reloaders also use it for light handgun target loads. Because of its fast burn rate and fine granulation, it meters accurately through standard powder measures, making it a practical choice for reloaders who load both shotshells and handgun ammunition.
