Product Overview and Introduction

Achieve legendary magnum accuracy and superior metering convenience with Hodgdon H4831SC (Shortcut) Smokeless Gun Powder. Sharing the exact same legendary chemical composition, burning speed, and ballistic performance as the historic H4831 that revolutionized open-sight and scoped rifle shooting, the “Shortcut” (SC) version features specially shortened extruded kernels. This micro-cut geometry allows the propellant to flow effortlessly through volumetric powder measures and settle smoothly in cases, eliminating the bridging common with traditional long-grain extruded powders.

As a proud member of Hodgdon’s renowned EXTREME FAMILY of powders, H4831SC is chemically engineered to be completely independent of ambient temperature swings. Whether you are hunting big game in freezing mountain passes or developing precision long-range loads in summer heat, your handloads maintain exact velocities and sub-MOA precision.

Extreme Temperature-Insensitive Short-Cut Technology

Engineered to meet the exacting demands of precision hunters, magnum rifle shooters, and competitive marksmen, H4831SC offers advanced ballistic stability and handling performance:

• Extreme Temperature Insensitivity: Completely eliminates velocity spikes or drops caused by thermal fluctuations, keeping your drop data reliable year-round.

• Short-Cut Metering Efficiency: Shorter grain length ensures smooth, uniform flow through automatic powder measures and volumetric drops while retaining full extruded performance.

• The Magnum Workhorse: Ideal burn rate for a massive array of medium-to-large magnum rifle cartridges, delivering smooth pressure curves and high velocity with heavy bullets.

• Clean Combustion: Formulated to burn cleanly, minimizing residue buildup and maintaining consistent ignition across extended shooting sessions.

The Professional Choice for Magnum and Big-Game Handloaders

When your reloading bench requires the trusted accuracy of H4831 combined with modern, free-flowing kernel geometry for effortless powder drops in calibers like the .270 Winchester and 300 Winchester Magnum, Hodgdon H4831SC stands out as an essential standard.
