Description
Hodgdon H380 is a spherical rifle propellant with a name earned at the loading bench. When Bruce “B.E.” Hodgdon first worked with this then-unnamed powder, 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. The result gave H380 its straightforward name and a place in Hodgdon history.
H380 is a superb performer in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts, and other fine varmint cartridges. For handloaders working with these cartridges, it is a rifle powder with a documented connection to accurate 22-caliber wildcat testing and broad varmint-cartridge utility.
Hodgdon H380 is made in the USA and is offered in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. Select the container size that fits your loading volume, then consult published Hodgdon load data for your specific cartridge, bullet, and components.
As with any propellant, careful component selection and adherence to published data are part of the craft. H380 brings a well-known Hodgdon bench story to reloaders looking for spherical rifle propellant for compatible varmint cartridges.

300 wsm Tikka
My wife’s tikka is very temperamental when it come to reloads, by far the best powder I have used is the H380. 60grs with 168gr Ablr nosler. It is a tack driver now. Just hard to find other components for her gun. Thank you guys for making quality product.

Consistent velocity and accuracy in my 22/250AI, can't ask for more.

H380 Powder
Powder works well with a variety of bullets out of a 257 Roberts (87 and 100 grain Sierra bullets). Lot of game harvested. Also works great out of eldest son's 7mm-08 (120 - 150 grain bullets from various manufacturers). For that rifle, the powder is what controls group size. Both rifles, various bullets, all sub MOA (stock rifles).

Hodgdon H380
As always, this powder is excellent for my 22-250. Dead on consistency.
