Winchester WinClean 244 Powder


Winchester® Smokeless Propellants introduces Winchester WinClean® 244™
Winchester Smokeless Propellants, a brand licensed by the Hodgdon Powder Company, is pleased to announce Winchester 244, a new propellant designed for handgun shooters.This new Ball Powder® is ideally suited to 38 Special, 45 Auto, and 9mm standard loads. Consistency, clean burning, featuring a low flash and useful across a broad range of applications make this powder a perfect choice for pistol cartridge handloaders. With addition of the WinClean process, this powder reduces copper fouling and residue, extending accuracy for longer shooting periods.

“As handloaders, it’s a real honor to work with the Winchester brand of ball powders,” said Tim Vaitekunas, vice president of product development at Hodgdon. “But it was a real pleasure to design and build this new propellant. We believe handgun shooters are really going to like loading handgun cartridges with this powder.”

The new Winchester WinClean 244 powder is available to ship in January, 2018 and should be found at most retailers who sell reloading products. The powder is available in 1-pound, 4-pound and 8-pound canisters.
