Hodgdon Benchmark is an extremely consistent, short-cut extruded rifle powder developed specifically for benchrest shooters and varmint hunters who demand tight groups and repeatable accuracy. It delivers outstanding performance in calibers such as .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and similar mid-sized rifle cartridges.
The short-grain extruded format allows smoother metering through powder measures, a major advantage over traditional stick powders. Benchmark is known for its low standard deviation, stable pressures, and clean-burning properties, making it one of Hodgdon’s most respected precision powders.
This powder thrives in match-grade bolt rifles, particularly in high-volume varmint applications where consistent ignition and minimal residue are essential. It also performs well across temperature ranges, providing dependable velocities and pressure curves even in changing field conditions.
