Every container of Alliant Smokeless Powder is backed by a century of manufacturing experience and the most exacting quality control procedures in the industry. Chemical composition, grain shape and size, and overall density are constantly checked and tested in a ballistics lab to ensure consistency.
alliant extra lite
Extra-Lite is a new shotshell propellant that provides less cost, less recoil and less headaches for those 12 gauge shooters transitioning from 1 1/8 ounce to 7/8 and 1 ounce loads Many shooters are looking for a powder that will have a density that allows use of standard components (wads and cases).
These same shooters also want pressure levels that guarantee complete combustion across a broad temperature range while still being clean burning. Well… now they 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
