Outrider, SASS #72622 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Great powder that can do double duty in shotgun loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordyce Beals Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I can usually tell when someone has switched over to Red Dot in their 38's - Bang, pop, especially if it is below 50 degrees outside. It IS and option for 38's but just so you know.. . If you try to go to the light side - it becomes a bit erratic in charge weight. Red dot is great in the .32 H&R Mag but you need to get it to meter uniformly so weigh and open up the powder measure cavity to get a uniform charge weight. A few 1/10 of a grain stopped the bang pop. Fordyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackey Cole Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Red dot is my favorite general sass load powder but I use trailboss in the larger calibers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk James Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Agree with Creeker, works well with a little hotter load. We shoot a lot of it in our 38 caliber loads and I keep a watch on the powder alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Red Dot is a great powder for Cowboy Loads just don't load them TOO light ... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado big Al Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I use the same bushing in my MEC to load Red Dot and Clays for my shotgun loads using 7/8 and 1 Oz loads with the Win grey wads. They work great for CAS and are good rabbit loads when loaded with #4 shot... Kindest regards, CBA 3195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye George Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I see where this thread started a year ago but has some new replies so I'll ask........... I just recently started shooting 45Colt and am currently loading with Bullseye and Tite Group BUT the 8 lb jug of Red Dot I got to use with my shotgun is more than a lifetime supply so am thinking of trying some of it with the 45Colt. I am using Precision 200g Coated bullets, anyone mind sharing their load data via private message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, when using it in both 45Colt and shotshells, 8 lbs ain't gonna last you all that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I've been loading 12 gauge and find the powder bin goes down pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Used to use red dot a bunch, being relatively fast you don't need much in pistols. Used it in 32acp,9mm luger, 9mm mak, 38spec, 44 spec and 45 acp and 12 gage. Years ago I switched to AA2 as it was much less expensive at the time. Now maybe not so much but then I have a bunch of the aa2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
