Description
Hodgdon H4831SC is an Extreme extruded rifle powder built around the proven ballistics of H4831. It is the exact ballistic copy of H4831, with one practical difference at the loading bench: the “SC” designation means short cut. Its shorter grain size gives handloaders a more compact extruded powder for measuring and charging operations.
The short-cut kernels flow more smoothly through powder measures, helping alleviate the cutting of granules that can occur with longer extruded grains. That smoother flow supports more uniform charge weights, while the compact orientation of the individual grains contributes to better loading density. It is a straightforward improvement aimed at the part of handloading where consistency starts: the charge.
As part of Hodgdon’s Extreme line, H4831SC offers insensitivity to hot and cold temperatures along with superb lot-to-lot uniformity. Those characteristics make it a dependable choice for handloaders who value consistent performance across changing conditions and powder lots.
H4831SC is a favorite for the .270 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .280 Remington, and .300 Winchester Magnum. It is made in Australia and available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. Consult the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center and follow published data for the specific cartridge and components on your bench.

Love this powder
I use this powder for my 300 Win Mag Remington 700 Sendero. It is a tack driver. The first time I shot my hand loads I found a round that had 4 bullets touching at 100 yards. Once I fine tuned the round I have had nothing but success in my hunting. Whenever I have something in my scope I know it will be mine. The last two deer I've taken have both been over 450 yards out and were hit hard and fatal and had no tracking required. They basically fell within feet of where they were standing. I've loved this powder, "4831 sc", for years and I finally bought it in all of its 8 lbs of glory. I love Hodgdon powder because of it's tolerance to temperature. I load my bullets in my house and when I hunt in the snow there is little to no difference in shot placement. I have so much confidence in my shooting platform that I'm almost batting 1000 in my hunting experience. I have missed a couple of times over the last 15 years but those misses were all on me. From pulling my trigger to rushing a shot. I guess if you don't ever miss a shot then you don't hunt. I can't explain how much I love this powder and the people who make it. Thank you Hodgdon for all that you do. I will continue to shoot with your powder until something better comes along and I'm sure it will have the Hodgdon name.

H4831SC
This is one of the most versatile powders Hodgdon makes and the Short Cut version meters very well. I feel luck to have been able to snag a keg of it!
