Description
Alliant Powder's Sport Pistol is a fast-burning, clean-burning powder ideal for handgun and pistol loads. With a burn rate classified around 9.1, it distinctly positions itself in the realm of fast handgun propellants, suitable for a wide variety of calibers such as 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Its physical form features a fine spherical grain, enabling smooth and consistent metering through various powder measures—a key advantage for achieving uniformity in large batch reloading. Sport Pistol demonstrates notable temperature stability, maintaining reliable performance across variable environmental conditions, making it a favorite among competitive shooters who demand precision. This consistency across temperatures is particularly beneficial in match scenarios where every shot counts. Handloaders will appreciate its low flash signature, contributing to less firing residue and extended barrel life. For load development, starting charges should be approached with precision, and it is advisable to refer to Alliant's comprehensive reloading data to ensure safe and effective use.
