What powder is in Hornady factory ammo?

Hey guys
I bought some factory Hornady black ammo today for the 450B and got to thinking. What powder and charge do they use in the factory loads. I pulled one of the projectiles to look and was surprised to have to put a small screwdriver into the case to break up the powder that was packed into the case. It looked to me like H110 powder and when I scaled it, there was 40.3 +/- of powder in the case. I was surprised to see that much powder in the case, it appeared to be a compressed load.
I did a search and didn't find anything that specified what they use in the factory load, is it a special powder or was it H110?
Any body know?
Thanks all
