Description
Hodgdon HP-38 is a spherical pistol powder built around a straightforward job: low-velocity and mid-range target loads. It is listed for .38 Special, .44 Special, and .45 ACP, giving handloaders a focused option for these established handgun cartridges.
HP-38 uses a high-energy formulation that provides economy in loading. For the handloader working through target-load volume, that is a practical attribute worth having at the bench.
This powder is made in the USA and is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. Choose the container size that fits your loading routine, then work from published Hodgdon data for the exact cartridge and components on your bench.
As with any propellant, details matter. Consult the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center and follow all label warnings and published data before assembling ammunition.

HP38
This product HB 38 has been my go-to for years! I have shots so many 38 specials in competition with this powder, I have introduced this powder to friends that own 9 mm and they were impressed with my load for that! So I can say that hp38 powder has helped me to win a good number of competition shoots and maybe even I've talked a few people into buying your product if not for HP 38 but other products that you have, I certainly hope so!!

Hodgdon HP-38
I use this powder to load my 9mm and have never had a failure. Flows nicely and is very accurate in my loads.

HP 38
I reload 38 specials with 4.3 grains of P38 without any problems (except my hitting the target!). Now if you could develop a powder that guaranteed a bulls eye every time, I would switch. Otherwise I will continue using HP38.

Awesome product
This product is very effective when used to reload small pistol rounds (9mm). I would definitely purchase again.

Best All-Around Handgun Powder
I've tried a lot of powders in my 30+ years of handloading. Many years ago I settled on HP-38 as my go-to for handgun loads. It just works well for everything I shoot. As an all-around powder, I think you can't go wrong with this.
