Mike Pearson at Westlander imports Accurate powders. I have not seen him with any other powders.

I may be wrong but I don't think that Ramshot is still imported into the U.K.
Both Ramshot and Accurate Arms powders were or are products of Western Powders in the U.S. There used to be two branches of Accurate Arms, one the U.S. arm, the other based in the Czech republic. They seem to have gone their seperate ways, there has certainly been some parting of the ways.

Ramshot pretty much dried up a few years ago. It was imported by a business that went belly-up. Trying to remember the name......M??? Range or something. The name will rise from my adled brain eventually.
Anyway, the stalking community bought the stocks by the barrow loads. We were getting it for £10-15 a bottle, depending upon type. It was great stuff; spherical powder, flowed like water from the dispenser when reloading. I've still got 1/2 dozen bottles of Magnum which is my fav.
So unless there is a new importer.......................... I'll pass the word around the stalkers and see if i can drum some up.
