Master the Clay Target Range with Ramshot Competition Powder

When you are standing at the stations, there is absolutely zero room for inconsistent performance. Split-second timing, smooth mechanics, and absolute confidence in your ammunition are what stand between a broken clay and a missed target. If your current shotshell reloading powder leaves your gun fouled, beats your shoulder with erratic recoil, or meters unevenly in your press, you are actively sabotaging your scores.

Ramshot Competition Powder is engineered explicitly to eliminate those variables, giving competitive clay target shooters the unmatched precision required to dominate every match.

Why Elite Shooters Trust Ramshot Competition Smokeless Powder

Every grain of Ramshot Competition smokeless powder is manufactured to the highest quality control standards in the USA. Designed primarily as a 12-gauge target propellant, this double-base, modified (flattened) spherical powder is crafted to meet the rigorous demands of trap, skeet, and sporting clays enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on ballistic excellence.

Flawless, Match-Grade Metering Accuracy

Modified spherical propellants are widely celebrated for how effortlessly they pass through progressive reloading presses. Ramshot Competition flows smoothly through your powder measure without clogging, shearing, or bridging. This geometric uniformity translates to exceptionally consistent powder drop weights, shot after shot. When your velocity spreads are minimized, your downrange patterns tighten up dramatically.

Ultra-Clean Burning Formula Cuts Maintenance

Tired of scrubbing heavy carbon residue and unburned flakes out of your shotgun barrels at the end of a long shooting day? This premium propellant features an advanced, clean-burning formulation that leaves your action, gas ports, and barrels remarkably pristine. Spent hulls remain cleaner, your over/under or semi-automatic functions flawlessly through hundreds of rounds, and your post-range cleanup becomes a quick, painless breeze.

Reduced Recoil Impulse for Faster Follow-Up Shots

Competitive shooting requires rapid, instinctive recovery for true pairs and subsequent stations. Ramshot Competition is specifically optimized to deliver a soft, low-recoil signature without sacrificing the necessary velocity to crush distant targets. By mitigating sharp, felt recoil, it prevents fatigue over long, multi-round events and allows you to keep your eyes locked cleanly on the next bird.

Versatility Across Disciplines: From 12-Gauge to Cowboy Action

While its primary home is in high-volume 12-gauge target hulls (perfectly executing 7/8 oz, 1 oz, and 1-1/8 oz clay target recipes), its unique physical characteristics unlock superb versatility for alternative reloading applications.

Perfect Low-Bulk Density for Cowboy Action Loads

Because it is a low-bulk-density powder, Ramshot Competition safely and effectively fills larger volume casings without causing dangerous pressure spikes. This makes it an exceptional choice for handgun loaders crafting low-pressure, low-velocity Cowboy Action loads, such as in .45 ACP or .45 Colt. It delivers stable, highly repeatable internal ballistics even at conservative velocities.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

To ensure absolute safety and peak accuracy, always cross-reference official reloading manuals and current Hodgdon/Ramshot load data before assembling your components.
