Reloading Powder
Find the reloading powder that matches your firearm, calibre, and shooting goals. Londero Sports offers a carefully selected range of products for hunters, sport shooters, and experienced reloaders across Canada.
How to Choose the Right Powder for Reloading
Choosing the right powder can affect consistency, pressure, velocity, and overall cartridge performance. Each formulation has a specific burn rate and intended application.
Never select a powder based only on price or brand. It must match the firearm, calibre, projectile, and published manufacturer data.
Before reloading, consider:
- the firearm and cartridge type;
- the calibre and projectile;
- the intended shooting application;
- the recommended load data;
- the powder’s burn rate;
- compatibility with your other reloading supplies.

Types of Smokeless Powder
Modern smokeless powder is available in several formulations for different firearms and cartridges. Choosing the correct product helps support safe, reliable, and repeatable results.
Rifle Powder
Rifle powder is designed for specific cartridge families, calibres, and performance requirements. Some products burn more slowly, while others are suited to smaller cases or different pressure ranges.
Always follow current manufacturer data when selecting powder for reloading rifle cartridges. Never substitute one powder for another without verified published information.
Handgun Powder
Handgun powders often have different burn characteristics from rifle powders. They must match the cartridge, projectile, and firearm being used.
Some formulations are intended for standard handgun loads, while others are designed for magnum applications. Each product should be used only according to official load data.
Single-Base and Double-Base Gun Powders
Single-base powders are formulated primarily with nitrocellulose. Double-base gun powders contain an additional energetic component.
These formulations may differ in burn behaviour, density, temperature sensitivity, and intended use. The correct choice depends on the cartridge and application.
