Safety Notice

At Alliant Powder, we take safety seriously. That

I wonder what changed? I've used it over the years with a 125 gr. JHP and never had any signs of overpressure.

 

Thanks for posting.

yah i know, this is one of those things.

Good info I will make this a sticky

 

thanks

Wonder if they tried "tagging" their powder. Experimentally that is.

Blue Dot

No mention of .44 Mag. I used to use 16.5 grs. of Blue Dot behind a 240 gr bullet for handgun silhouette.

 

Adios,

Blue Dot has been a go-to powder of mine since the 70's. In magnum pistol applications it works well with heavy bullets. I would use different powders when loading lightweight bullets though if I wanted a "magnum" application. 2400 and H110 come to mind. Surprisingly, Blue Dot works well in reduced power loads in .357 Mag. & .44 Mag. I even use it in applications for straight-walled rifles cases like the .444 Marlin and .45-70 with reduced-powered loads and lead bullets. I've always thought it was an extremely versatile powder. It goes without mention that it is one of the premier powders to use when loading magnum shotshells.

...which I made after assessing available current data.

 

Just a suggestion.
