Hodgdon Titegroup Smokeless Powder 1lb

Hodgdon Titegroup is a spherical smokeless pistol powder designed for accuracy, with low charge weights, clean burning, and mild muzzle report. Its standout trait is position insensitivity: where the powder sits in a large handgun case has virtually no effect on velocity. The 1 lb canister suits reloaders working up new handgun loads.

What is Titegroup powder best for?

Titegroup is a favorite for Cowboy Action, Bullseye, and combat-style pistol competition, where uniform ballistics and a clean-running gun matter over long strings of fire. Its low charge weights mean more rounds from each pound, and the mild report makes extended range sessions more comfortable.

Which handgun cartridges can I load with Titegroup?

Hodgdon designed Titegroup to stay consistent in large-capacity handgun cases such as the .45 Colt and .357 Magnum, where older pistol powders could shift velocity depending on where the charge sat. It is a versatile smokeless powder for reloading target and practice handgun ammunition. Always follow current Hodgdon load data for your cartridge, bullet, and primer.

How much Titegroup should I buy?

The 1 lb canister is the right size for testing Titegroup across a few cartridges or loading moderate volumes. Reloaders who settle on a Titegroup load often move to the 8 lb jug so a single lot covers thousands of rounds.

Buying the 1 lb size from Graf & Sons lets you test Titegroup in your own loads before stepping up to the 8 lb jug.
