For reloaders working with rifle cartridges, they offer a variety of powders suited for different calibers and applications. Powders like TAC, Big Game, X-Terminator, and Hunter provide reloaders with excellent burn rates for precision shooting, competition, and hunting applications. TAC is particularly well-suited for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO loads, offering clean-burning properties and smooth metering for semi-automatic platforms. Big Game delivers optimal performance for medium rifle calibers such as .308 Winchester and .270 Winchester, ensuring repeatable accuracy for hunters and precision shooters. Hunter and LRT are formulated for high-performance long-range rifle calibers, providing reliable energy output for cartridges requiring slower burn rates.

For pistol and handgun enthusiasts, Ramshot offers powders like Silhouette, True Blue, Enforcer, and Zip, which are tailored for semi-automatic handguns and revolvers. Silhouette provides excellent flash suppression and metering characteristics, making it a strong choice for competitive shooters looking for consistency in high-pressure pistol loads. True Blue is well-suited for a variety of handgun calibers, offering clean-burning properties and reliable cycling in semi-automatics. Enforcer is designed for heavy magnum loads, delivering powerful energy output for large-caliber revolvers, while Zip is a fast-burning powder ideal for low-recoil pistol cartridges, ensuring smooth function and accuracy in compact handguns.

Ramshot powders are known for their clean-burning formulation, which helps reduce fouling and keeps firearms running efficiently. This feature is particularly valuable for high-volume reloaders who demand consistent performance over extended shooting sessions. With temperature stability engineered into its formulation, their powders perform reliably under varying environmental conditions, ensuring that reloaders experience consistent pressure and velocity regardless of external temperature fluctuations. This makes Ramshot a dependable choice for hunters and long-range shooters who need their loads to perform in extreme heat or cold.

One of the key advantages of their powders is their ability to meter consistently through progressive reloading presses. Their spherical powder design ensures uniform flow through powder measures, reducing charge weight variations and helping reloaders produce accurate and consistent ammunition.
