Alliant Extra-Lite shotgun loads...

[McGuiver]

Just picked up some Alliant Extra-Lite to perfect my 3/4 oz loads. Has anyone out here on Calguns tried this powder?

I will be loading Remington Peters hulls, and Winchester AA hulls with the load data below. Previously I have used Alliant e3 for my 3/4 oz loads. I will be loading these with 1300 FPS load data.

Here is all the 3/4 oz load data I found for this.

Thanks. I have heard this Alliant Extra-Lite powder is a soft shooter. I thought my Alliant e3 ones were soft, but hope to see good things with Extra-Lite. I have 75 pounds of bird shot to load up now, and lots of empty hulls & wads.

I understand that, wad/powder combo with the same shot weight can also affect the softness. Looking for a standard load that I can load a lot of, patterns well, and I like them.

Reloaded some 12ga Remington Gun Club hulls tonight. 3/4oz loads at 1300 FPS. Will be trying them out this week for some trap.









Plan on using in my pump and O&U. In the pump with a Modified choke, and O&U with a Modified and Improved Modified chokes.

Last week I shot a 100 Clays at the trap range and they seemed good with my old loads. Hope these do just as good.

Got some Extra-Lite coming with a primer order later on this week.

I shot 50 clays for trap last night, and 25 clays for skeet. Extra-lite powder shells I loaded shot great. My friend also shot some and loved them. I used #8 hard shot, and they worked well. This is my new favorite 3/4 oz load.
