New propellant: Alliant Sport Pistol.

[hatman1793]

I'm sure many of you received the notification that Alliant has a new powder out called Sport Pistol.
Looked up some recipes for the stuff I use....powder appears to be slightly slower than Bulleseye, but the listings on their website shows velocities over 1000 FPS for it.
Could be interesting. U$27.00 for a pound....

So $46/lb CDN if you can find it at all.

I hope that all of these new powders are a sign of the industry diversifying by picking up product from sources beyond their usual manufacture and not some idiot cola wars type of deal

So what's this supposed to do that any number of pistol powders already do and do very well?!

Not such a great difference, just another choice which will likely be very good in some applications. From the website:

[h=1]Sport Pistol™[/h][h=2]Handgun Powders[/h]

[h=4]Smokeless pistol powder[/h]
Precision and action shooters need consistent, clean-burning propellant that lets them perform to their peak when a competition is on the line. New Alliant Powder® Sport Pistol™ delivers on these demands with extremely reliable cycling, excellent charging and case fill, and ballistics that lend themselves to a range of popular loads. Sport Pistol's low-muzzle-flash formulation is also optimized for polymer-coated bullets, whereas comparable powders can dissolve polymer coatings at the bullet base during ignition.

• Clean-burning formulation
• Extremely reliable cycling for competitive shooters
• Optimized for polymer-coated bullets
• Versatile ballistics
• Excellent charging and case fill
• Low muzzle flash
• Made in the U.S.A.

Alliant already makes the worlds greatest powder, e3, but like all other Alliant powders it's hard to find.

Between e3 and Titegroup I don't need anything else.

ever get a shipping quote for powder from Lawry's? It would double the cost of the powder

 

[mctrigger]

Any site sponsors carrying it? Did I google search but came up empty

What is e3 lol

Living in an apartment, one has limited space for big jugs...
I also have a great gun shop next door, so there are no shipping costs!

Just another one to experiment with, to find that perfect load.

It's a shotgun powder that I use for 9mm. If Clays and N320 had a baby it would be e3, lol.

No, I always pick it up myself.

I ASSUMED the $50 difference would have more than covered the cost of shipping, clearly I was wrong.
