Product Overview and Introduction

Achieve legendary accuracy and blistering flat trajectories on your varmint hunts with Hodgdon H380 Smokeless Gun Powder. Famously named by legendary handloader Bruce Hodgdon—who discovered that 38.0 grains of this spherical propellant behind a 52-grain bullet delivered phenomenal accuracy in the .22-250 Remington (originally known as the .22 Varminter)—H380 has remained a staple for precision shooters and predator hunters for decades.

Whether you are handloading high-velocity varmint rounds for the .22-250 Remington, tuning accurate mid-range loads for the .243 Winchester, or crafting flat-shooting ammunition for various medium-capacity bottleneck rifle cartridges, Hodgdon H380 delivers smooth volumetric metering, clean combustion, and exceptional target-striking precision.
