Alliant 410 Powder Specifically Made for 410 Skeet Shells

There are many factors to consider when it comes to reloading, and hand-loading shotgun shells is another animal entirely. And for shotgunners who prefer the diminutive 410 bore, ammo prices can sometimes be sky-high. It’s odd to think those little bitty shotshells cost quite a bit more than even 12 gauge shells, but they sure do.

Reloading can help reduce ammo cost as well as allowing a shooter to custom-tune his own loads. And Alliant Powder has recently come out with a smokeless powder which they say is the only one specifically made for reloading 410 shotgun shells for skeet shooting. Naturally, it’s called Alliant 410 powder.

Here’s some info from the press release:

RADFORD, Virginia — Alliant Powder, a leading manufacturer of smokeless powder, released a new propellant that is the only flake powder specifically designed for the demanding needs of 410 bore skeet and field loads. Shipments of improved 410 are being delivered to dealers.
The new 410 powder’s efficient formulation delivers low charge weights and optimum loading characteristics.
