Winchester ® Powders WST Target shotshell and standard velocity handgun propellant. Ideal for use in 45 Auto match applications. Consistent,clean, low flash and smoke are benefits to the shooter. Powder of choice for reloading AA shells. 231 As the most popular reload propellant, 231 is a pistol powder ideally suited to the 38 Special, 45 auto, and 9mm standard loads.
Winchester® Primers You can’t buy a more reliable primer than Winchester. Ignition is instant and precise. In Winchester testing labs, primers are constantly and rigorously tested for consistency and sensitivity at temperatures and conditions far beyond the range of normal usage. Ignition reliability is assured when you use Winchester primers. • • • • • • • Better sensitivity for more positive firing in all guns. 7 different primers cover your reloading needs for shotshells, rifle and handgun cartridges.
Winchester® Wads Reloaders seldom give wads the same critical attention given to other components. Often the result is poor performance - due entirely to the wad. Take a moment to review the high quality features of Winchester wads. For consistent, dependable performance shot after shot, ask for Winchester AA® wads. • • • • • • Available in 12, 20, 28, and 410, for all kinds of loads: target and field. Designed for the proper rate of collapse.
Source of Empty Cases All Winchester® cases used in shotshell reloading are obtained as a result of first firing of factory loaded ammunition. In a great many instances, once-fired AA® cases and other Winchester shotshells can be purchased from local skeet and trap ranges, gun clubs, and dealers catering to the shotshell reloaders. If this service is not available, the only means of obtaining these cases would be as the result of firing factory ammunition.
Cases Exercise extreme care in determining use of the exact case listed in the data. Be certain to select the exact case being loaded. Substitution could be dangerous and data is not interchangeable from one case type to another. When in doubt contact the manufacturer of the case. Primers Winchester® Ammunition has a long-standing tradition of providing shooters and hunters with the finest ammunition products available.

Centerfire Rifle Component Bullets Combined Technology Combine Technology bullets are the most technologically advanced bullets in history. The CT brand bullets combine Winchester and Nosler advanced development techniques and innovative production processes. Fail Safe® (FS) Solid, copper-alloy nose with notched hollow point cavity, combined with a lead core protected by a steel insert, delivers deep penetration and uniform, controlled expansion with virtual 100% bullet weight retention.
METALLIC CARTRIDGE RELOADING Data Generation Data tested for the current handbook included not only the various tests for pressure and velocity at ambient 70 degrees F, but also tests with powder positioned at the primer and the bullet to simulate muzzle up, muzzle down conditions. Further, the same kind of tests are run at +140 degrees F and -40 degrees F.
BLACK POWDER WARNING: Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex® or mix smokeless powder with black powder or Pyrodex. Never use smokeless powder in black powder firearms or in saluting cannons. Smokeless powder has much more energy than black powder or Pyrodex. Substituting or mixing powders may cause the firearm to blow up resulting in personal injury, property damage, or death.

WARNINGS Read before using data The shotshell and metallic cartridge data in this booklet supersede all previous data published for Winchester smokeless propellants. The data shown in this booklet has been verified by tests fired in our laboratory under controlled conditions and found to produce safe cartridges.
Conditions which may cause misfires or poor ignition: Exposure to water Exposure to organic solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline, oil, grease, penetrating lubricants, etc. Exposure to temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit Primers subjected to shaking, vibration, jolting, etc. may separate small particles of priming compound. This is referred to as “dusting”. Accumulation of primer dust in primer feeds, on machine surfaces, in loading areas, etc. is extremely dangerous.
