The .68 Cal Powder Ball is a specialized wildlife deterrent round designed to safely redirect or discourage animals without causing lasting harm. On impact, the dry powder bursts into a visible puff, making it effective both when striking the ground near the animal or upon contact. Unlike paintballs, these rounds contain no liquid fill, eliminating the risk of accidental ingestion by wildlife.
Powder Balls travel farther and with greater accuracy than standard paintballs. This makes them a reliable choice for deterring and steering large animals such as bears, elk, and deer, as well as serving as an effective scare tool for birds and waterfowl.
