Overview
This smokeless shotshell powder is intended for light and standard 12 gauge target loads, making it a practical option for trap, skeet, and sporting clay shooting. It is described as an economy-priced choice with easy metering and consistent charging, which can be useful when loading in volume. The product notes that it has the same burn speed as Red Dot while being more dense, so a smaller bushing is required to reach the same charge weight. Hazmat restrictions apply, and buyers should confirm legality in their area before purchase.
