NOTES For each asterisk , add one 20-gauge, 0.135-in. thick card wad to the inside bottom of the shot cup. tAuto-loading shotguns may not function with loads having pressures less than 7,000 psi. It is important to have tight crimps to prevent load efficiencies pressures from dropping. The efficiency may also drop when these loads are fired at low temperatures. Win.

Ballistic Data
The velocity and pressure obtained with the specific combinations of shell, wad, primer, bullet or shot weight, powder, and powder weight provided in this booklet were obtained in a laboratory, where considerable effort is made to control the load and test conditions. Velocity was measured with a chronograph electric stopwatch . Pressure was measured either by compressing copper cylinders, or electronically, by use of a piezoelectric transducer. Guns are designed to take a considerable amount...

Powder Information
Smokeless sporting propellants are of two basic types - single-base and double-base. Single-base propellants derive their energy from nitrocellulose and double-base from a combination of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. Alliant propellants range from the near single-base American Select 2 nitroglycerin to the high nitroglycerin 40 double-base Bullseye. In addition, our propellants contain stabilizers for long storage life and various other ballistic modifiers which reduce flash, improve...
Ballistics
The ballistic data shown in this booklet were obtained in the laboratory under strictly controlled conditions. You must load only those exact combinations that are listed. Even then, different reloading techniques, plus industrial tolerances of each component, likely will cause your ammunition, or ammunition loaded by other competent laboratories, to yield slightly different ballistic data. Therefore, charge recommendations in this booklet must never be exceeded. Smart shooters and hunters know...
