About this powder

StaBALL HD (Heavy Duty) is Winchester's temperature-stable ball powder for large belted magnum cartridges. It fills the magnum case efficiently while providing excellent temperature stability — the combination sought by hunters using .300 Win Mag and .338 Win Mag in mountain hunting where morning cold can be 40°F below midday.
