[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4330976, member: 15054"] I have used Blue Dot and Red Dot in reduced rifle loads quite often. I read one guy used Red Dot for his first firings in his 41 Swiss just to see if the bullets would go down range. I have loaded 11.5gr of Red Dot in 30-06 170gr cast 1400 fps and a tiny .3cc scoop in .308 for my 100gr 664 fps back yard critter killing load. I use Red Dot for my 45 colt and 357 magnum to fire lap the barrels. Just enough powder to get the bullet to exit the barrel. In fact so little powder that I shoot into a roll of carpet. Carpet rolled up and shoot on top of it, the bullet hits the carpet and bounces up about 4". Muzzle facing down of course so the powder is not even near the primer. I love Red Dot powder and hope I never run out of it. Bullseye will do the same but a bit dirtier and must use a little more to get the bullet to exit the barrel. [/QUOTE]
