Midwest Powders are smokeless reloading powders offered by American Reloading. For each powder, we provide our own test load data to give customers a reference point for load development. When possible, we will also provide a commercially available powder with a comparable burn rate as an additional reference.

Any commercial powder comparison is based on burn rate only and does not mean the powders are identical or directly interchangeable.

The MP number identifies the specific Midwest Powder and generally follows burn rate, with lower MP numbers representing faster-burning powders and higher MP numbers representing slower-burning powders.

If a powder has a suffix such as -1, -2, -3, etc., this indicates different lots of the same powder.

No. When we provide a commercial powder comparison, it means the powder has a comparable burn rate based on our testing. It does not mean the powders are identical or contain identical properties.

The comparison is provided as a reference for load development. We recommend reviewing published load data for the comparable commercial powder along with the test load data provided for the specific Midwest Powder you purchased.

Whether using published commercial load data or our test load data, always start 10% below the listed charge and work your load up carefully.

We provide test load data for each Midwest Powder whenever available. This information can be found on the product listing and/or the powder container.

When possible, we also provide a comparable powder based on burn rate. Published load data for that powder can be used as an additional reference when developing your load.
