Winchester 760 Ball Powder delivers consistent performance across multiple rifle calibers with its spherical grain structure that meters precisely through powder measures. This versatile propellant has earned its reputation among competitive shooters and hunters for producing accurate loads in cartridges ranging from .243 Winchester to .30-06 Springfield.
What Makes This Different
The spherical ball powder design flows smoothly through progressive reloading equipment, reducing charge weight variations that can affect accuracy. Unlike stick powders that can bridge in powder measures, Winchester 760's uniform spherical grains provide consistent throws shot after shot. This medium-burn-rate powder fills the gap between faster pistol powders and slower magnum rifle powders, making it suitable for a wide range of cartridge applications.
Key Features
- Spherical ball powder design for consistent metering and reduced charge variations
- Medium burn rate suitable for cartridges from .243 Winchester to .30-06 Springfield
- Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent velocities across weather conditions
- Clean-burning composition reduces fouling and extends barrel life
- 1-pound container provides approximately 140-200 loads depending on cartridge
- Compatible with both progressive and single-stage reloading equipment
- Manufactured to strict quality control standards for lot-to-lot consistency
Competitive shooters rely on Winchester 760 for match-grade accuracy in service rifle competitions, while hunters appreciate its consistent performance in popular hunting cartridges like .270 Winchester and .308 Winchester. The powder's stable burning characteristics maintain point of impact across temperature ranges from freezing to summer heat. Its clean-burning properties reduce copper and carbon buildup, extending cleaning intervals during extended shooting sessions.
