That is not surprising. I have a pretty low opinion of them too.

I've been meaning to post this here in case anyone else had as much trouble finding it as I have:


They announced the release of their power pro powders. I kept looking in the online recipes for months for data for the new powders. I stumbled across this manual one day.

I see what you mean about it all being Speer data. I didn't notice that before. They've actually done that for a few years as the last three I've saved are that way.

Another Alliant gripe of mine is they've never bothered to improve alliant Steel powder. It gives the best performance with steel shot, but it such a pain to use.

Yet another gripe is the errors in the dead tree versions of their free data manual. You'd have spacers listed in recipes one year and none the next for the same recipes. Also pellet counts listed in one for lead loads, but the weights are taken out due to a computer glitch. Editor anyone? Their website sucks too.

Now with some new wads that have come out, there are some recipes for H Longshot. They don't handle as much payload, but they load easy and have the speed. So I may not use as much Steel now either.
