hodgdon trap 100

[robert6715]

came acrosss 8lb of trap 100 in my fathers powder cabinet. I cant find any data on this stuff. It is a shotgun powder, and from the little i can find online it is a "fast burning sperical type double base powder. It is excellent for target loads in handgunds." Is this stuff simaliar to Accurate arms Nitro 100 "a fast burning double base propellant. Developed for 1 and 1-1/18 ounces of shot in 12 gauge for trap,skeet,and light field loads.It is excellent in low pressure revolver cartridges,and is especially well suited for the .45 colt.clean burning in all aplications. it is also relatively temperature insensitive." ? It is no longer made and hasent been for some time. It passes the sniff test, and has ben storred with all the other powder that I have had no problems with.All this powder was bought in the 60's or 70's, and was storred in a cabinet in the basement with desicant (no temp change, dark, cool). Looking for source for load data for wheel gun plinking, or shot shells.


thanks in advance Rob

First, what calibers are you loading for?

Speer #11 has a few loads for trap 100, mostly in the 32's, one or two in 380 acp, and a load or two in 45 acp.

I would think it should work in 38's , but it doesn't show any.

From the loads it does show, it's very near 700x, and red dot.

you could call hodgdon, they should still have the data.

I believe that this is the ballistic equivalent to the Old Winchester 452AA which has been discontinued for a few years. I can see if I can dig up some data from one of my older Winchester freebie powder manuals..

Try this Hodgdon 1984

Jake's photo confirms what I was about to suggest: just use Bullseye DATA and you'll be fine.

I have quite a lot of data for Trap 100; info can also be found in Hodgdon's 25th edition.

I have a pound left myself.

For what calibers are you needing it?
