The Alliant Promo Smokeless Shotgun Powder delivers consistent performance for high-volume shotgun reloaders seeking reliable results at competitive prices. This 8-pound canister provides enough powder for approximately 1,000-1,200 shotshell loads, making it an economical choice for trap, skeet, and sporting clays enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
Alliant Promo features a clean-burning formula that produces minimal residue compared to standard shotgun powders. The spherical granulation ensures uniform metering through progressive reloading presses, reducing charge weight variations by up to 15% versus flake powders. This consistency translates to tighter shot patterns and more predictable velocities across different environmental conditions.
