Ramshot Load Data
Western Powders, Inc. has been one of North America's leading distributors of gunpowder since 1972. Based in Miles City, Montana, the company began by distributing Dupont IMR powders in the 1970s and quickly grew into a key player in the shooting and reloading industry.
After establishing an efficient distribution network, Western Powders launched its own line of propellants under the Ramshot brand in 1998.
This marked the beginning of a period of strategic expansion. In 2005, the company acquired Accurate Arms, followed by the acquisition of Montana X-Treme Gun Cleaning Products in 2006. Another milestone came in 2008 with the introduction of Blackhorn 209, a revolutionary muzzleloading propellant that has significantly transformed the black powder market.
Every product developed by Western Powders is held to the highest standards of performance, consistency, and reliability in the industry. The company is known for precision manufacturing, advanced formulations, and rigorous quality control.
Rooted in a strong commitment to Second Amendment values and the promotion of hunting and recreational shooting, Western Powders aims to enhance the shooting experience for all of its customers. Whether for hunters, competitive shooters, or handloading enthusiasts, the company continues to deliver high-performance products that support safety, enjoyment, and excellence at the range and in the field.
