“Tag: propellants”

There are multiple new powders available for the .223 Rem. that could make some nice handloads.

Winchester Smokeless Propellants, a brand licensed by the Hodgdon Powder Company, has announced the Winchester WinClean 244, a new propellant designed for handgun shooters.

Best known to handloaders within the firearm industry, Hodgdon Powder Company’s sphere of influence is farther-reaching than one might expect.

Years ago, hunters rarely considered that the propellant they handloaded into their rifle cartridges could cause enough of a swing in velocity between shooting during the summer heat and the winter cold that it might cause them to miss their targets and/or game at extended distances.
