Home Forums Reloading Reloading Software QUICKLOAD & Hodgdon H-450 powder

I have QL version 3.3

I also have some Hodgdon H-450 powder that I want to use for some 150 and 180 grain re-loads in my 30-06.

I'm surprised that I can't find H-450 listed in QL.

Has my QL gagged?

I wonder why that powder isn't listed? It's a pretty useful powder.

Comments or opinions?

They have recently released the 3.8 version of the software, why not send that old disk back in for the small upgrade fee and get all the current data?

I'm not sure exactly when QuickLOAD first hit the market, but it seems like H450 was off the market by the late 90s. It may have never made it into the QL database.

I used to burn it...it's an obsolete powder close to 4831.

I may still have a partial can. I thought it was a great powder.

It's a little slow for 30-06, and I ran it a touch harder, but here is the load data from Hodgdon.

Pressure is designated in CUP.
