Lot 137:
A Pair of Hodgdon H380 Smokeless Rifle Powder 1 lb Containers
Description
This lot consists of two 1 lb containers of Hodgdon H380 smokeless rifle powder, totaling approximately 1.5 lbs of remaining propellant. H380 is a spherical powder originally developed by Bruce Hodgdon to duplicate the original 38.0-grain load for the .22-250 Remington, for which it remains a popular choice. The lot includes two different label variations; the modern container on the left is marked QUALITY PROPELLANTS FOR OVER 60 YEARS and features a comprehensive RELOADING DATA CENTER table with load data for .22-250 Rem., .220 Swift, .243 Win., 6mm Rem., .257 Roberts, and .30-06. The vintage container on the right is marked QUALITY PROPELLANTS FOR OVER 45 YEARS and MADE IN USA, featuring a simplified load data table. Both labels display the HODGDON THE BRAND THAT’S TRUE branding. These propellants are intended for centerfire rifle reloading applications.
Condition report:
Both black plastic containers show age-related wear including surface scuffing and minor label discoloration. The metal screw-top lids exhibit oxidation and surface rust consistent with storage age. The powder appears to be live; however, as the seals are broken and the storage history is unknown, these are sold as components only without warranty of performance.
