Buy Alliant Green Dot Smokeless Gun Powder

Alliant Green Dot is in stock now at Primers Reloading, giving clay target shooters a clean-burning shotshell powder known for tight, even patterns and lower felt recoil. Made in the USA, Green Dot is a favorite for handicap trap loads, but it’s flexible enough for many target and field loads too.

What is Alliant Green Dot ?

Alliant Green Dot is a smokeless shotshell powder from Alliant Powder, an American company with more than 125 years of experience making smokeless powders. It’s built for shotgun shells, and it’s best known as a long-range clay target powder that helps produce dense, uniform shot patterns.

You may notice a few green-colored flecks mixed in with the powder. Alliant adds a small amount of dyed grains, about 1 percent of the mix, to help reloaders identify the powder. Those dyed grains perform exactly the same as the rest, so they don’t change how the powder shoots.

In 2018, Alliant released an improved Green Dot formula that burns cleaner and leaves less fouling behind, while keeping the tight patterns Green Dot is known for.

What is Alliant Green Dot used for?

Alliant Green Dot is a versatile shotshell powder, and it shines in these uses:

• Handicap trap loads – Its main purpose, where long-range pattern quality matters most.
• Light 20 gauge target loads – A secondary use for smaller-gauge target shooting.
• General target and field loads – Flexible enough for a variety of clay target and field applications.

Always use published Alliant load data for your exact hull, wad, primer, and shot weight. Shotshell components work together as a system, so never swap parts without checking the data.

Shipping information

Smokeless powder is classified as a hazardous material for shipping, so a few rules apply:

• Ground shipping only — never by air.
• Shipped separately from non-hazmat items, and typically cannot ship in the same box as primers due to combined hazmat limits.
• Requires an adult signature (21+) upon delivery.
• Some states and localities have additional restrictions on powder shipments, and per-order quantity limits may apply.

We handle all of the compliance details on our end, so all you need to do is place your order and be ready to sign when it arrives.
