About this powder

H110 is the gold standard for .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .454 Casull, and .410 bore at maximum performance. It requires near-maximum charge weights — reduced loads cause inconsistent ignition and potentially dangerous hang-fires. Never reduce H110 charges below the minimum listed in a current manual.
