    Any thoughts on Blue Dot? I mostly load 124s and up.


    What about in .40 S&W?

    Loaded some blue dot for high pressure nine. Mainly for subguns. In pistol length bbls it was a crowd pleaser and pretty loud. In eight to twelve inch subgun bbls it got measurable gains and had less blast. In sixteen inch pcc bbl it was very civilized. Don't have the data handy but it was in excess of published with 147s and 115s.

    In .40 with 180s blue dot is an acceptable option. I've used it in 10mm and loaded some .40 for a buddy I shot pistol with when Obama was elected and he couldn't get ammo. Watch going near max in .40 as his Glock was unhappy with it. Mid-range published data was fine.

    Back in my brief 40 reloadng days I used Blue Dot. Worked well with jacketed bullets. Blue Dot is a good powder as long as you don’t try to drive it too fast. I used to drive 45 ACP comp loads close to Super levels.
