This was an unnamed spherical rifle propellant when Bruce “B.E.” Hodgdon first used it. When a 38.0 grain charge behind a 52 grain bullet gave one hole groups from his 22-caliber wildcat (now called the 22-250), he appropriately named the powder H380.

H380 is also a superb performer in the 220 Swift, 243, 257 Roberts and other fine varmint cartridges.

Being a spherical powder, metering is superbly accurate.
