Hodgdon
Hodgdon HS-7
A slow spherical powder for heavy shotshell field and waterfowl loads and full-power magnum handgun loads.
Discontinued. Canisters still circulate, but the maker no longer produces it — and load data for it may be withdrawn or archived.

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
