Alliant Powder Promo
Every container of Alliant Powder promo 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 Promo Power has the same burn speed as Red Dot but is denser, requiring a smaller bushing to achieve the same charge weight. It easily meters and charges on a consistent basis. It’s best suited for 12 gauge loads, but it can also be used in some handgun loads.
America’s number one economy-priced 12 gauge target powder. Promo has the same burn speed as Red Dot, but is more dense, thus requiring a smaller bushing to obtain the same charge weight.
- Budget priced
- Economical trap, skeet and sporting clay loads
- Easy metering and consistent charging
Manufacturer’s Recommendations:
Do not exceed the load limits specified in the reloaders’ guide.
Never combine any two powders, regardless of their type, brand, or source.
Never use a smokeless powder in place of black powder or a substitute for black powder.

Just started using promo for 1 oz trap loads. Started off using 18 grains for 16 yard trap, seems to work as good as the 700 X that I have been using but haven’t tried any other loads so far.

Alliant Promo is like the dirty little secret of reloading. Alliant doesn’t give much load data for it & it only comes in 8# kegs. It is also screaming cheap in an era when SURPLUS powder is almost as expensive as canister. I’m told that Promo is the result of Alliant’s QC testing and as such each batch/lot of Promo needs to have loads worked up as if it were a new powder to make sure your loads are still good.

This is almost the same as Red Dot powder without the Red Dot. It’s loaded charge weight for charge weight the same as Red Dot. The volume can be very slightly different. I find it much cheaper than Red Dot and just as versatile. I load 12ga, 20ga, 38, snubby 357 loads, 9mm, 380, 45 acp, 45 Colt and others all with Red Dot/promo with excellent results.

I use this powder in my 12 ga. trap loads for the 16 yard line and it is affordable and works well the only bad thing is every keg weighs different and has to be weighed to make sure you have the right charge weight.
