Clay, trap and wing shooters have relied o red dot and green dot powders for reloading for years. They’ve become absolute staples of the sport. Alliant now claims it’s improved two of their most popular and trusted shotgun powders. Press release below . . .
Alliant Powder Will Launch Two Improved Reloading Propellants at the 2018 SHOT Show
ANOKA, Minnesota – January 10, 2018 – Alliant Powder, a leading manufacturer of smokeless propellant, will launch improved Red Dot and Green Dot reloading powders during the 2018 SHOT Show (Booth No. 14551), January 23-26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Improved Alliant Powder Red Dot now burns significantly cleaner and offers better flow characteristics with the same clay-crushing performance the world’s best shooters have trusted since 1932. Red Dot is optimized for 12-gauge target loads, offers Alliant Powder’s legendary lot-to-lot consistency and is proudly made in America.
Enhanced Green Dot is optimized for handicap trap loads, yet versatile enough for a variety of target and field applications. It also offers Alliant Powder’s lot-to-lot consistency and is made in the U.S.A. The improved formulation burns much cleaner, with precise burn rates that produce dense, uniform patterns, as well as less felt recoil.
“Alliant Powder offers shooters even more consistent and cleaner-burning performance with the release of these improved products,” said Brian Anderson, Senior Marketing Manager for Alliant Powder. “The original high-performance clay target powders just got even better.”
Both Red Dot and Green Dot will be available in three container sizes; 1-, 4- and 8-pound bottles.
Just bought a new colt combat elite 1911, one of the best guns I have ever owned! What a great job colt did with this one! Shoots awesome groups nice and tight! Makes the sig feel like shooting a cap gun lol!! Colt keep up the good work!!!!!
These bills are pushed by these clowns every year, and they routinely get shot down in committee. Here’s hoping this is another routine year…
Oh I would so buy one.
I won’t mind one of their MP5 clones if it is cleaned up and functions well (the sample picture above looks rough) but it wouldn’t be more than a range toy. I like my PSA AR but if things ever went pear shaped I’d reach for my BCM before reaching for my PSA.
It has been known that Dems at times run as Republicans to get elected and once in office they turn on the constituency. This could just be one more case.
Crookston is in Minnesota, not North Dakota.
I also consider them art, but also tools. All it takes is one person mentioning it to someone and so on until some punk kid gets wind of it. All locked up or hidden. Same reason I don’t post pictures of my guitars on facebook
