The Alliant Power Pro 1200-R delivers consistent velocities and clean-burning performance for 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO cartridges. This spherical powder provides excellent metering properties and temperature stability across varying conditions.
What Makes This Different
Power Pro 1200-R utilizes a spherical grain structure that meters more consistently than traditional stick powders, reducing charge weight variations by up to 0.2 grains. The clean-burning formulation produces minimal fouling compared to standard ball powders, extending cleaning intervals. Temperature sensitivity remains within 0.5 fps per degree Fahrenheit, maintaining velocity consistency from summer heat to winter cold.
Key Features
- Spherical powder design for precise metering in progressive and single-stage presses
- Optimized burn rate for 223 Remington with 55-75 grain bullets
- Low copper fouling formula reduces barrel maintenance requirements
- Temperature-stable performance across -20°F to 125°F range
- Consistent lot-to-lot performance with detailed burn rate data
- Compatible with standard and magnum primers
- 1-pound container provides approximately 150-200 loaded rounds
Competitive shooters rely on Power Pro 1200-R for match-grade accuracy in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles. The powder's burn characteristics work effectively with popular bullet weights from 55 to 77 grains, making it suitable for both precision shooting and general range work. Law enforcement agencies specify this powder for duty ammunition due to its consistent performance and reduced muzzle flash properties.
