Product Overview and Introduction

Maximize your rifle reloading efficiency, metering precision, and target accuracy with Hodgdon BL-C(2) Smokeless Gun Powder. As one of the most legendary and trusted spherical rifle propellants on the market, BL-C(2) has a storied history rooted in military 7.62x51mm NATO production. Today, it remains a premier choice for handloaders, competitive shooters, and tactical marksmen looking for smooth-metering, high-performance ball powder in intermediate bottleneck cartridges.

Whether you are handloading match-grade ammunition for the .308 Winchester, tuning high-volume tactical rounds for the .223 Remington, or crafting flat-shooting varmint loads for the .22-250 Remington, Hodgdon BL-C(2) provides the progressive pressure curve, clean ignition, and exceptional case efficiency demanded at the firing line.

Spherical Ball Technology and Smooth Metering Efficiency

Designed to meet the exacting demands of high-volume reloaders and precision marksmen, BL-C(2) offers distinct advantages in handling and ballistic performance:

• Legendary Intermediate Burn Rate: Positioned squarely in the medium-burn rifle category, making it an ideal drop-in option for established load data requiring rapid, efficient combustion in intermediate cases.

• Spherical Ball Powder Morphology: Formulated as small, uniform spherical grains that flow effortlessly through volumetric powder measures and progressive reloading presses, virtually eliminating the crunching and bridging common with extruded powders.

• Optimized Loading Density: Fills intermediate cases efficiently to ensure uniform ignition and low standard deviations in velocity from shot to shot.

• Clean Combustion: Treated to minimize fouling, keeping your barrel cleaner during extended practice sessions and high-volume match days.
