About this powder
Very slow ball powder originally positioned for the .50 BMG and similar ultra-magnum cartridges. Was among the slowest commercial rifle powders available before being discontinued after Western Powders acquired the Accurate Arms brand. No direct replacement was issued; H50BMG fills a similar role.
