What is H1000 powder best for?

H1000 suits magnum and overbore cartridges that need a slow powder to fill the case and reach full velocity with heavy bullets. It earned a strong following among long-range match shooters in a short time, and it is a natural pick for long-range hunting rifles.

How does H1000 compare with H4350?

H1000 burns much slower than H4350. H4350 fits standard cartridges like the .243 Winchester and .270 Winchester with light to moderate bullets, while H1000 is the better match for overbore magnums and heavy-for-caliber bullets. Develop every load from current Hodgdon reloading data.

Why buy H1000 in an 8 lb jug?

Magnum and overbore rifle cartridges burn large powder charges, so each pound of H1000 loads fewer rounds than a pistol powder would. Buying the 8 lb jug keeps a single lot of H1000 on the bench through load development and regular shooting.

Graf & Sons carries H1000 in both 1 lb and 8 lb sizes, so you can develop a load before committing to the bulk jug.
