Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms is this compatible with?
Benchmark powder is designed for reloading small to medium rifle cartridges. It is an excellent choice for popular calibers like .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, .22-250 Remington, .204 Ruger, and .17 Remington. Always consult official Hodgdon load data for your specific firearm and bullet combination.
Is installation difficult?
This is a reloading component, not a firearm part. Using it requires a reloading press, dies, and proper knowledge. It is not a drop-in item and must be used with extreme care following published reloading manuals.
How long does delivery take?
Orders ship within 24 hours from our US facility in discreet, unmarked packaging with no logos or labels. Most domestic orders arrive within 3–5 business days via tracked shipping.
What is the burn rate of Benchmark powder?
Benchmark is a relatively fast-burning extruded rifle powder. It is positioned between powders like H322 and H335 on the burn rate chart, making it ideal for lighter bullets in small-capacity cases where high loading density and consistent ignition are key.
