Key Features
Burn Rate & Performance: The Patriot matches the burn speed and density of H335, making it an excellent alternative for shooters familiar with that powder. However, The Patriot includes flash suppression additives that H335 lacks—a significant advantage for shooters concerned with muzzle flash, particularly in tactical or low-light applications.
Spherical Design: The uniform spherical shape ensures excellent flow through volumetric powder measures, reducing the need for constant scale adjustments and improving consistency from round to round.
Bulk Density: With a bulk density of 0.975, this powder meters reliably and allows for efficient use of your reloading equipment.
Important Safety Information
Reloading is a precise discipline. Any change to powder charge weight, bullet weight, primer type, or case can significantly affect pressure and velocity. Always consult published load data from reputable sources before developing loads. Start at the minimum recommended charge weight and work up carefully, watching for pressure signs. Never exceed maximum loads.
Package Contents
8-pound container—sufficient for hundreds of rifle rounds depending on your specific load development.
