Alliant POWER PISTOL

Handgun

Burn Rate: 7.6 (Medium-Fast)

Description

Alliant Powder's Power Pistol is a medium-fast burn rate propellant specifically optimized for handgun applications. Its burn rate of 7.4 places it well-suited for high-performance pistol calibers, such as 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .38 Super, providing excellent velocity and energy in these chamberings. Power Pistol exhibits a finely granulated physical form that ensures good metering properties through volumetric powder measures, resulting in consistent charge weights across loading sessions. Its formulation delivers reliable performance over a range of temperatures, minimizing variations in pressure and velocity, crucial for competitive shooters and enthusiasts who require shot-to-shot consistency. In terms of load development, Power Pistol offers versatile performance, allowing handloaders to achieve both standard and +P pressure loadings. Its unique ability to maximize velocity without compromising safety margins makes it a favored choice among reloaders seeking enhanced performance. Alliant Powder's reputation for producing top-quality propellants further solidifies Power Pistol's status as a trusted option in the reloading community.
