Shepherd Book Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Anybody use Hodgdon International powder in revolvers and rifles? Reason I ask is because I can get about 6 lbs relatively cheap. Have not yet found reloading data for anything other than shotgun.... Thanks! SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kajun Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I’ve used Clays International powder but only in SG loads. Like you I did not see any other use for it. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If you can get 6lbs. cheap, dirty or not, I would use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelve mile REB Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 38 special 105 gr. coated bullet 3.2 gr. Clays International moderate to heavy crimp no issues. Could be said that at that level some might describe it as leaving slightly more carbon than Clays, Clay Dot or Trail Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
