Description
Hodgdon H4831 is a classic, extruded rifle powder designed for magnum cartridges and heavy bullet loads. This 8lb jug is for the serious reloader who values consistency across hundreds of rounds. Since we started stocking it in January 2026, it’s become one of our steady sellers in the powder category. Customers appreciate its predictable performance in cartridges like the .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, and .25-06.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Extruded Kernel Design: Meters consistently through powder measures for uniform charge weights, shot after shot.
- Temperature Stability: Hodgdon’s formulation provides reliable velocity across a wide range of hunting conditions.
- Proven Track Record: Decades of use by competitive shooters and hunters confirm its reputation for accuracy.
- High Load Density: Works well in large magnum cases, helping to minimize position sensitivity.
- One of Our Most-Reordered Items: Our staff notes that customers frequently come back for a second jug once they try it.

Common Questions
What are some common cartridges for H4831?
It’s a top choice for .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, .25-06 Remington, 6.5×55 Swedish, and .30-06 Springfield with heavier bullets. Always consult a current, published reloading manual for specific load data.
Is this the same as H4831SC?
No. This is the standard cut of H4831. H4831SC (Short Cut) has a smaller kernel size for improved metering in some measures, but the burn rate and performance are identical.
How should I store this powder?
Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and open flames. Properly stored, smokeless powder has a long shelf life.
