Description
Hodgdon BL-C(2) is a spherical, double-base powder designed for consistent metering and reliable performance in a wide range of rifle cartridges. It’s for the reloader who values a versatile, temperature-stable powder that delivers solid velocities. We added this to our catalog in mid-2024, and it’s quickly become a reliable seller with consistently positive feedback from our customers.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Versatile Burn Rate: Works well in popular mid-sized rifle cartridges like .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield.
- Spherical Granules: Meters smoothly and consistently through powder measures, reducing charge weight variance.
- Temperature Stability: Hodgdon’s formulation provides reliable performance across a range of shooting conditions.
- Clean Burning: Produces minimal residue, helping to keep your firearm’s action and barrel cleaner for longer.
- 8lb Value: The larger container is cost-effective for high-volume reloaders, reducing the cost per round.
