Alliant Powder's roots trace back to 1872 as Laflin & Rand, later becoming Hercules Powder Company—the name reloaders have known for generations. The company traces its origins to the DuPont explosives division in 1912. Today, Alliant operates from their facility at 2299 Snake River Avenue in Lewiston, Idaho 83501 and is part of The Kinetic Group, which also owns Federal, Remington, CCI, Speer, and HEVI-Shot.
Alliant's approach is straightforward: reloaders need to know exactly what they're getting every time they pull the trigger. They back this up with industrial-grade quality control.
Their testing process includes: - Chemical composition analysis - Grain shape and size inspection - Density and porosity evaluation - Ballistics lab testing of every batch for burn speed - Computerized testing after blending for final verification
"One of the reasons you're a reloader is so you'll know exactly what to expect every time you pull the trigger. With Alliant powders you will. Not only shell after shell, but also year after year."
Alliant manufactures 19+ rifle powder formulations, including:
- •Reloder 26 — Magnum rifle powder with EI technology for extremely high velocities. High bulk density allows larger charges. Temperature stable, no DNT or DBP formulation.
- •Reloder 50 — "I was not very enthused that someone could produce a powder that would shoot better in the .50 BMG than the VhitiVouri 20N29. Boy, was I wrong!" — Dale Arenson, Technical Editor
