Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 317:
Description
This lot consists of a pair of one-pound containers of Hodgdon H1000 smokeless rifle powder. H1000 is part of the Hodgdon Extreme series of extruded powders, specifically designed for large capacity magnum cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Magnum, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 30-378 Weatherby Magnum. Known for its temperature-insensitive burn rate, this propellant is a popular choice for long-range hunting and match applications. The black plastic containers feature labels displaying the large red Hodgdon logo and the “Extreme Powder” seal. Extensive loading data is printed on the face of the labels, providing charge weights and ballistic information for several popular calibers. Key markings include “HODGDON THE BRAND THAT’S TRUE,” “H1000 RIFLE POWDER,” and “QUALITY PROPELLANTS FOR OVER 60 YEARS.” The manufacturer’s website is listed as www.hodgdon.com. Note – As ammunition components, these items do not require a background check.
Condition report:
Both containers appear to be in good overall condition with factory-original labels. The labels are clean and legible with only minor handling wear. Both black screw-top lids are present and appear secure. The contents are assumed to be live smokeless powder, though the internal seals have not been inspected to confirm if the bottles are full or factory-sealed. There are no visible signs of moisture damage or significant label staining.
