Hodgdon Longshot Smokeless Spherical Shotshell Powder, LS1, 1 lb

Hodgdon Longshot LS1 is a versatile smokeless spherical powder designed for heavy field shotshell applications and high-performance pistol cartridges. This 1 lb canister offers reloaders a propellant option known for producing magnum-level velocities while supporting excellent pattern performance when used with appropriate published load data. Longshot is suitable for a broad range of shotshell gauges, including 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, and 28 gauge, making it a practical choice for hunters and sporting shooters who load across multiple platforms.
Longshot is featured in Hodgdon’s Reloading Data Center, where reloaders can find compatible recipes and performance information for supported applications. Its spherical powder design promotes consistent metering through suitable reloading equipment, helping deliver repeatable charge weights when used properly. As with all reloading components, Hodgdon Longshot should be used only with current, verified load data and equipment appropriate for the specific firearm, cartridge, primer, wad, shot charge, and other components being assembled.
In addition to its shotshell applications, Hodgdon Longshot is recognized as a high-velocity pistol propellant for cartridges such as .38 Super, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG, including applications designed to operate at lower-than-usual pressures. It is also a popular choice for competitive shotgun games such as Buddy and Annie Oakleys. The LS1 part number identifies this Hodgdon Longshot formulation, while the 1 lb quantity provides a convenient size for reloaders evaluating its performance across approved loads. Always follow Hodgdon’s published data and safe powder-handling practices, and never substitute components or exceed listed specifications.
