As a newly manufactured powder, Ramshot X-Terminator Spherical Powder is guaranteed not to be pulled from ammunition or surplus from the military. Instead, the powder is designed for high-volume varmint hunting, a popular choice for the .17 Remington, .222 Remington, .45-70 Government, and others, but also performs great in light to medium bullets. This powder is also smokeless, burns incredibly clean, offers great flow characteristics; because of the small grain, loading in smaller-diameter case necks has never been easier. Two additional features of the powder include the spherical shape and double-base design.
