Found in my Hercules Reloader guide 1991

I still have one from around 87

Something is missing. Like the headers to identify the powders?

AFAIK, Promo is, for all intents and purposes, Red Dot without the Dots..

What was the exact point of the post? Did they list different loads for Red Dot and Promo?

I have never seen Promo loads listed for handgun cartrdiges, as Alliant has always tried to force it to be a shotgun only powder.

I have red dot listed for pistol loads in books from Hornady and speer from the early 90's

 

I currently load Promo in -- .38 special -- 9mm -- .45 acp -- 38 super -- 12 and 20 gauge shotshell   --  all pushing a lead projectile

 

A little smokey but does the job
