Hi,

I've tested Blue Dot extensively.

For me, and many do not share my opinion, you have to load Blue Dot too hot to get any accuracy out of it in a 4 inch barreled, P-08, Luger. Also, the muzzle flash is like that of a flare pistol.

I've had some pretty good success with it in an 8 inch barreled, LP-08, however; as it is the second most accurate powder, with this pistol, to date.

Though it is not one of my go to powders for the 9mm Luger, in a Browning design pistol, such as the Browning Hi-Power, it might be just great.

Your thoughts?
