Alliant Pistol/Shotshell
Alliant 410
Built specifically for .410 bore skeet and field loads - Alliant calls it the only flake powder designed for that job.
Purpose-built for a gauge that punishes substitution. The .410's tiny bore and long shot column make it fussier than anything else on the clay range, and this powder exists because a flake tuned to that exact job holds patterns and pressure better than borrowing something off the 12 gauge shelf. It is slow for a shotshell powder, which is what the .410 needs to keep a long column moving. Its limits are simply that it has one application and is not one of Alliant's temperature-stabilised formulations, so a hot summer skeet weekend and a cold field day are not identical.

Grain shape
Circular cut flake with a comparatively thick web, which is what places it near the slow end of the shotshell list — same family, heavier wall for the flame to cross. The degressive burn keeps the curve from spiking in a small-volume hull, but it also means a charge error is punished immediately rather than absorbed.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
Alliant states it is clean burning and charge efficient, with consistent results across weather conditions and production lots. Alliant does not market it as one of its temperature-stabilised formulations.
Burn rate
One of the slowest shotshell powders Alliant lists, just ahead of 2400.
Chart agreement: DISAGREEMENT — Alliant's own Reloader's Guide orders Steel FASTER than 410 and 2400; this list, following the Hodgdon spine, orders them the other way. Ranked here per the Hodgdon chart used as this list's spine. Ranked by: Hodgdon, Alliant, Vihtavuori, Wolfe/LoadData.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Accurate No. 7 (position 58)
- Alliant Pro Reach (position 59)
- Hodgdon Longshot (position 60)
- Accurate TCM (position 62)
- Alliant 2400 (position 63)
- Ramshot Enforcer (position 64)
