The Hodgdon Ramshot Grand delivers consistent velocities and exceptional accuracy for precision rifle cartridges. This spherical powder provides temperature stability and clean burning characteristics that serious reloaders demand for match-grade ammunition.
What Makes This Different
Ramshot Grand features a double-base spherical formulation that meters consistently through powder measures while maintaining velocity uniformity across temperature extremes. Unlike stick powders that can bridge in measures, this spherical design flows smoothly for precise charge weights. The powder burns cleanly with minimal fouling, extending barrel life and reducing cleaning frequency compared to dirtier propellants.
Key Features
- Spherical powder design meters consistently through all powder measures
- Temperature stable formula maintains velocities from -40°F to 125°F
- Clean burning formulation reduces barrel fouling and copper buildup
- Optimized for .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and similar capacity cartridges
- Double-base composition provides excellent velocity potential
- 1-pound canister with moisture-resistant seal
- Manufactured to strict quality control standards
Ramshot Grand performs exceptionally well in competitive shooting applications where consistent velocities translate directly to improved accuracy. The powder's burn characteristics work effectively in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles, maintaining reliable cycling in gas-operated systems. Its temperature stability makes it suitable for hunting applications across diverse climate conditions, from cold morning hunts to hot afternoon range sessions.
