Alliant Extra Lite Powder
Every container of Alliant Smokeless Powder is backed by a century of manufacturing experience and the industry’s most stringent quality control procedures. To ensure consistency, the chemical composition, grain shape and size, and overall density are constantly checked and tested in a ballistics lab.
Alliant Extra Lite is a new shotshell propellant that reduces cost, recoil, and headaches for 12 gauge shooters transitioning from 1 1/8 ounce loads to 7/8 and 1 ounce loads. Many shooters are looking for a powder with a density that will allow them to use standard components (wads and cases). These same shooters want pressure levels that ensure complete combustion over a wide temperature range while remaining clean burning. They now have it with Extra-Lite.
Warnings from the Manufacturer:
- Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.
- Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.
- Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute.

This is the perfect powder for 3/4 oz 12 ga loads. Recoil is minimal, and it’s the cleanest burning powder I have ever used
