Winchester Smokeless Propellants: The Winchester Legacy
The story of Winchester Smokeless Propellants begins in 1892 when Franklin Olin and his partners established the Equitable Powder Company. In 1931, Western Cartridge acquired the bankrupt Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and the Winchester-Western brand was born. Over the decades, Winchester powders have become synonymous with high performance and innovation in the shooting industry.
In 1929, Dr. Fredrich Olsen patented the process for manufacturing smokeless powders, leading to the commercial production of BALL POWDER® smokeless propellant, which remains popular with reloaders to this day.
