Hodgdon Longshot®

Great stuff for Pheasant and Chukar loads

IMO the best powder made for Sporting Clays loads where speed and payload are a real benefit, with the correct hull and wad 7/8 ounce loads in 28 Gauge at 1250 to 1300 fps are easy to produce. As a result you get smaller boxes that allow carrying 100 rounds in pockets or pouch and a lighter shotgun to carry. I'll also note that Longshot and the 40 S&W is a perfect combination, it allows loading 165 grain bullets at near Magnum velocity. When you have a load that produces 1150 fps with a 165 grain bullet it's is not even close to being "Short and Weak". The result is loads that approach the power of a full house 10mm in the shorter, and easier to find, 40 S&W case. One issue currently is the limit on the number of containers one can purchase. With that 5 container limit an order for just 5 results in a burden of roughly 12 dollars per pound for Hazmat and shipping. Hodgdon should either up the number limit for 1 lbs. containers or simply not sell any container under 4 lbs.

I have been reloading for a long time. Many calipers, many different powders and I have found Longshot to be the best for high velocity/low pressure. I would be glad to recommend Longshot gun powder.

Purchased because I couldn't find 20/28, which I''ve used for years in 20 and 28. Other than the exorbitant price and lack of 8 lb. jug options, it seems to be a clean burning substitute with slightly lower recoil.

this powder meter out very well in mine Ready mechanical powder charger very few over or under .1 grain I use mine RCBS 1500 powder charger electronic scale check weights now got to find time get out try them.

NOSLER 135 HP..!! WHAT A LOAD...!!!!!

Performs very well and is clean. I am loading 9mm Lugar

460 Rowland, 230 grain lrn, 1257 fps, 10.3 grains of longshot. I'd say it works pretty good.

Longshot is a versatile powder. I've used it to load 20, 12 and 28 ga. It's my favorite 28 ga powder in Winchester HS hulls because of its density. Longshot also meters consistently. I also use Longshot as a backup powder for reloading 44 mag cartridges.
