Blue Dot load?

Gunner220 · 02-21-2008, 05:32 PM

Just a couple of observations about Blue Dot. It is a temperature sensitive powder in that loads developed in cold weather will operate at higher pressures in the heat of summer. This based on case/primer observations and just the feel of the load. Not very scientific I know but I have 30 years of reloading experience to go along with it.

Blue Dot also has one hell of a report and flash when nearing a max load in the 9.

I also use Blue Dot in the .357 and 44 mags, as well as the 45 ACP. Accuracy in all the above calibers was excellent.

With all that being said my most frequently used 9mm load is 6 grains of Unique over anything weighing 115 grains.

By the way Shadow that is some serious shooting!
