The Alliant E3 Competition Grade Shotshell Powder delivers consistent velocities and clean-burning performance for competitive shotgun sports. This premium powder formulation reduces felt recoil while maintaining optimal pressure curves for reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns.
What Makes This Different
E3 powder features a proprietary spherical grain structure that meters consistently through progressive reloading presses, eliminating the charge weight variations common with flake powders. The advanced chemical composition burns cooler than traditional powders, extending barrel life and reducing fouling buildup. Laboratory testing shows velocity standard deviations under 15 fps across temperature ranges from 20°F to 100°F.Key Features
- Spherical powder design ensures consistent charge weights for match-grade accuracy
- Low-temperature sensitivity maintains performance across weather conditions
