Hi:

I've checked my personal loading records, regarding Blue Dot, and found that with my LP-08, 7.3 grs, under 124 gr Hornady FMJFPs, was my second most accurate load (out of an 8 inch barrel). Blue Dot was the second most accurate powder I've tried to date out of this long barreled pistol.

Out of my regular 4 inch barrel P-08s, Blue Dot has not proven to be among the top three most accurate powders I've used, those being Power Pistol, SR4756 and HS6.
