This powder ignites then explodes, either partially or completely, generating high pressures and temperatures in the process.

[Date, Place] There are three main components needed to make good quality ammunition: gunpowder, an oxidizer (usually potassium nitrate), and a binder (usually nitrocellulose).

The gunpowder component is an explosive substance that consists of finely divided grains of a combination of nitrates, nitrites and carbon. The oxidizer is a chemical that reacts with the gunpowder to generate heat and pressure in the reaction.

What are the tips to select powder for ammunition?
Powder like Hodgdon Powder is the component of ammunition that is ignited and burns rapidly to propel the bullet from the firearm. Proper use of powder will affect accuracy, range, and reliability.

The following are tips for choosing powder for ammunition.

Tips to select powder for firearms
-When selecting powders for your new cartridge or calibre, check out both proprietary and generic powders made by different manufacturers. This allows you to compare their characteristics side-by-side before making a decision about which type would benefit your shooting style or application most effectively.
-Choose a powder like Hodgdon Powder in Canada with a burn rate that is slower than the SAAMI maximum charge weight. This will produce the most consistent velocity and pressure across all loads in a given cartridge.
-Brass life is also affected by the type of powder used. If you are concerned with brass life or considering the cost of new brass, stay away from the lightest powders on the market.
-When selecting a powder, consider how much your hand strength can support in relation to the pressure generated. If you are looking at an extremely low-pressure cartridge such as a .22 Long Rifle that is filled with only few grains of powder, realize it will require more precise hand-loading techniques and practice before your loadings achieve first round accuracy.
- The pressure generated behind bullet flight is dependent on the powder charge alone. However, proper seating depth and consistent bullet run-out (the bullet's orientation in the cartridge case) will maximize that pressure and subsequently increase velocity.
