Power Pistol is a flattened sphere or ball powder. A flake powder is made by making sheets of powder and then flaking it (cutting it up somehow). I've seen confusion over PP being ball or flake before. PP looks like a round disk. PP meters very well and from what I've read, flake powder does not. I suppose because it has an irregular shape.

Power Pistol is a larger flake cut version of Bullseye. Both are flake powders. Alliant only has one spherical (flattened ball) type handgun powder and that's the newer MP-300. Information that anyone can find in a load manual or at the Alliant website.
444, you're correct, Power Pistol was on the market well before Western Powder Co. introduced the Ramshot powders. Same goes for WAP which Winchester dropped from their line. Western acquired the rights to it and it's the same exact powder now sold as Ramshot Silhouette.
