First introduced in 1998, Alliant Steel immediately raised user expectations for steel shot waterfowl loads. It is a non-toxic hunting smokeless powder that produces a high velocity load for 10 and 12 ga. shotshells and is consistent at all temperatures. Due to its slow burn rate, it is exceptionally consistent with heavier loads. Also, as Alliant Steel is fluffy, the manufacturers recommend that it be scaled out rather than dropped through bushings.
