Hodgdon US869 Spherical Rifle Powder, Part 8691, 1 lb

Hodgdon US869 spherical rifle powder is a true magnum propellant developed for demanding high-performance rifle applications. Designed for use with heavy bullets in large-capacity, overbore cartridges, US869 provides a dense powder formulation that helps maximize case capacity while supporting high velocity and consistent accuracy. This 1-pound container is identified by Hodgdon part number 8691 and is intended for experienced reloaders who follow current load data and safe-handling procedures.
US869 is well suited to cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum, 300 Remington Ultra Magnum, and 30-378 Weatherby Magnum. It is also an excellent choice for the .50 BMG, where it performs effectively with heavy 750- to 800-grain projectiles. Its performance characteristics make it suitable for long-range applications, including 1,000-yard match shooting, when used with an appropriate load recipe, bullet, primer, and firearm.
A key advantage of Hodgdon US869 is its minimal sensitivity to changing temperatures. This characteristic can help support reliable performance and repeatable accuracy across varying environmental conditions, which is valuable for both competitive shooting and hunting. As with all smokeless rifle powders, US869 must be stored, measured, and loaded according to Hodgdon's published data and established reloading safety practices. Verify cartridge compatibility and charge weights before use, and keep the powder away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
