Alliant STEEL Shotshell Powder Multi-Gauge 1 lb Container

The Alliant STEEL shotshell powder delivers consistent performance across multiple gauges for steel shot loads. This specialized propellant maintains optimal pressure curves while protecting barrel integrity during high-volume waterfowl and upland hunting sessions.

What Makes This Different

Alliant STEEL powder features a progressive burn rate specifically engineered for non-toxic steel shot loads. Unlike standard powders that can create pressure spikes with steel pellets, this formulation provides smooth acceleration through the barrel. The powder's temperature stability ensures consistent velocities from 20°F to 100°F field conditions.

Key Features

• Progressive burn rate optimized for steel shot ballistics
• Multi-gauge compatibility: 10, 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge applications
• Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent performance
• Reduced barrel wear compared to standard powders with steel shot
• Clean-burning composition minimizes fouling buildup
• Precise metering characteristics for consistent charge weights
• 1-pound container provides approximately 140-200 loads depending on charge weight

Field performance testing shows STEEL powder generates uniform patterns with steel shot sizes from BB to #4. The powder works effectively in both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells, delivering reliable ignition in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. Waterfowl hunters report consistent cycling in gas-operated systems even during extended shooting sessions in cold weather conditions.
