A few general notes on using this catalog.
- Typical application means that you are likely to find data for that application. Not all shotgun powders have load data for pistols and conversely not all pistol powders have shotgun load data.
- If it the powder is noted as being REACH Complaint I was able to confirm it, most Canadian, European, and Australian powders are, however there are exceptions. If REACH compliance is an issue for you, contact your supplier.
- If the powder contains Nitroglycerin it is assumed to be double base, single base powders do not have nitroglycerin.
- Powders with a mixed grain geometry will have to predominate grain geometry listed first, followed by the second geometry.
- Powders are ranked in estimated burn rate order within a brand.
- Catalog is being updated constantly, check back frequently, and if I’m missing a powder let me know here.
