Hodgdon is pleased to announce the release of Hodgdon Perfect Pattern, a shotshell powder designed for loading 12-gauge shells.

“We know consumers are looking for shotshell powders and fast-tracked the release of two new powders for 2023.” says Justin Schrader, Hodgdon ballistician. “We identified this need for 12-gauge powder and moved Hodgdon High Gun to the head of the line, along with Hodgdon High Gun.”

Hodgdon Perfect Pattern is a fast-burning, flattened-spherical shotshell powder designed for light and extra-light field and target loads for the 12-gauge shotgun. Its geometry and density results in excellent ignition, clean burning, superb metering and low charge weights that deliver consistent patterns with mild report and low recoil.

This new Hodgdon shotshell powder is available immediately at retailers selling reloading products. The powder is available in 1-pound and 8-pound canisters.
