ORNERY OAF Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Pards and pardettes, I know some of the reloading powders are scarce now and who knows about the future but I came into a few pounds of Blue Dot. I hear it's great for 10mm,which I already load and carry, but I need some info. Anyone use BD in 44colr, 44-40,44spl/mag? I even heard 30-30......I have searched the web a lot but who knows about some of these yahoos....at least I trust some of the yahoos here more;). If you got a pet load, chrono and bullet size with Blue Dot, let me know please..what says the rogues gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 What do your loading manuals show? I only use BD for 9mm and .40 S&W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Shows several decent calibers 44 mag, 44 spl, 10mm , 45 colt and acp.i reload all those,.but I was hoping for someone who already does and has a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Blue Dot does have its favored calibers and bullet weights. It ain't my favorite for 9mm or 10mm...... but its still a darn good performer in those calibers and very accurate. Normally, it would be my favorite for 9mm but to achieve the performance I'm wanting, its a 'compressed' load. And I prefer not to shoot compressed loads in Non-Magnum caliber pistols. As mentioned above, check out the loading manuals and even the manufacturers website. I'll try to post some of my personal load data later today. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORNERY OAF Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 You can run real m 10mm loads I know, but my usual 10mm is Longshot, just got a ton of blue dot, definitely gonna load some 44 spl and maybe some 45 colt, I don't reload 9mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongShot is also my favorite 10mm powder, along with Power Pistol. ..........Widder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 Used to be a good 10mm website 10mm-firearms.com had great stuff when I started carrying a 10. Mostly use underwood now for carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
