Trap and skeet practitioners take note! Radford, VA-based Alliant Powder has released its new and improved, clean burning Red Dot Powder, with the same lot-to-lot consistency its customers have come to expect and depend upon.

The powder is optimized for 12-gauge target loads, and according to Vista Outdoors (Alliant’s parent company), burns with far less fouling “and offers better flow characteristics,” while maintaining the same clay crushing performance.

A standard for top shooters since 1932, this newest iteration of Red Dot is available in three sizes with two different container types: one- and four-pound bottles, and an eight-pound canister.

Pricing for said sizes is as follows:

  • Red Dot one-pound bottle—$24.99
  • Red Dot four-pound bottle—$89.99
  • Red Dot eight-pound canister—$169.99

Shipments have just started to dealers, so in the meantime, check out Red Dot and all the other exciting products Alliant has to offer at www.alliantpowder.com/default.aspx
