Re: WARNING ABOUT BLUE DOT POWDER AND 357 AND 41 MAG

I really think Alliant's problem is bad loading data, not a bad powder. They're not saying anything about not loading down the powder. That would apply to all bullet weights and other calibers which were not mentioned. They would also say never use it in rifle cartridges. Just one .357 load and the...

Re: WARNING ABOUT BLUE DOT POWDER AND 357 AND 41 MAG

Well, I should be able to get by with 38 Special load levels in .357 cases. I'd be very cautious about that. I thinks it's light loads and light bullets that can cause a pressure spike with Blue Dot. It's always been known to perform better loaded on the strong side, with a heavy boolit to build up...
