Extreme Stability: Temperature Insensitive Technology (H3)

The signature benefit of Hodgdon H4350 Smokeless Gun Powder is its Temperature Insensitive nature.³ In long-range shooting, a small velocity shift caused by temperature changes can result in a significant point-of-impact difference downrange. H4350 is chemically formulated to maintain a stable burn rate across a broad thermal spectrum. This means that a load chronoed on a cool day will deliver the same muzzle velocity on a hot day. This thermal stability is Essential for competitive shooters and long-range hunters who require Reliable, predictable ballistics from their Ultimate Precision Rifle Propellant.

Application Versatility: Optimized Calibers for H4350 (H2)

The medium-slow burn rate of Hodgdon H4350 Smokeless Gun Powder is ideally placed for medium-to-large capacity cases:

• 6.5 Creedmoor: The definitive, top-performing powder for this cartridge, providing Ultimate accuracy and efficiency with all common match bullet weights (130-147 grains).
• .30-06 Springfield & .270 Winchester: The Legendary choice for full-power hunting and target loads in these classic cases, maximizing velocity and Consistency with medium-to-heavy bullets.
• .308 Winchester (Heavy Bullets): Provides excellent results when pushing the heaviest match bullets in the .308.
• 7mm-08 Remington: An Exceptional choice for maximizing performance in this versatile hunting cartridge.

Short-Cut Extruded: Precision and Metering (H3)

Hodgdon H4350 Smokeless Gun Powder is a short-cut extruded (stick) powder.⁴ This formulation retains the superb, consistent burn characteristics of traditional stick powders while significantly improving flow through powder measures. This improved metering provides superior charge weight Consistency and very low velocity Standard Deviation (SD). Low SD is the single most important factor for success in long-range shooting, as it minimizes vertical dispersion on target. The fine, short grains of H4350 make it the most shootable and Reliable extruded powder in its burn-rate class.
