Title: Alliant Sport Pistol powder
Post by: The_Shadow on September 18 2018 01:10:25 PM MDT
Asking the forum members here if they have any Alliant Sport Pistol powder that they could place some in a scale pan and take a good close up picture of the powder.  Please!
This being a newer Alliant powder I would appreciate getting a good picture for reference.  If it is like most of the Alliant powders it probably is a cut flake some where between Bullseye and Power Pistol based on loading data...

Thanks... :D

Thank you very much Commo.  It is kind of what I suspected it to look like with its performance about between where Bullseye and Power Pistol would be...
It looks like the flakes are near the same diameter as Bullseye but maybe a tad thicker, no special identifiers are in there.  I may need to get a physical sample someday to do better comparisons.
No data was shown for 10mm as of yet from Alliant.  Although it is more of a target powder nearer to the Bullseye by volume/charge weight loadings.

Curtis thanks for the link...that picture confirms my thoughts exactly.  I only wish Alliant would have placed an Identifier in the mix, as they closely start to resemble other powders in their line.
