Red Dot Shotgun Powder Loading Data

Red Dot Shotgun Powder Loading Data. I was able to score some red dot powder (yay ). I found some load data for 40 and 45 how does this stuff behave in a pistol cartridge?

Red Dot Smokeless Powder, 8lbs. The Shooting Edge
Red Dot Smokeless Powder, 8lbs. The Shooting Edge from www.theshootingedge.com

So, is 4.5 gr of red dot a safe load. A quick check of reloading data from a 1997 manual with data from a 2014 manual for the same load (rem sts, w209, fig 8 wad, 1 1/8 oz) shows the same powder mass for 1145 and 1200 fps. .125 card under shot 1290 10,700 red dot 21.0 ched.

I Understand Fed 209A's Are A Hot Primer.


I have data in my llyman manuals. Doesn't seem to be much new published data on. Flake style powder, medium burn rate.

Upon Filling A 9Mm Case It Leaves Me Hesitant As To Using Red Dot Because It Looks Like It Will Be A Compressed Load Once The Bullet Is Seated.


Well, surprise, surprise, no pistol data for red dot in their reloader's guide! .125 card under shot 1310 10,900 clays 21.0 ched. I called alliant and was told they do not publish a recipe for the fed 209a/red dot combo in a 1 oz load.

A Quick Check Of Reloading Data From A 1997 Manual With Data From A 2014 Manual For The Same Load (Rem Sts, W209, Fig 8 Wad, 1 1/8 Oz) Shows The Same Powder Mass For 1145 And 1200 Fps.


Use this data with alliant brand powders only. America's number one choice for clay target loads and now, 50 percent cleaner. .125 card under shot 1290 10,700 red dot 21.0 ched.

By Clicking The Link Below, I Understand And Will Agree To Abide By The Above Precautions.


So, recently i came into 4 pound keg of red dot shotgun powder. Handgun loads, and they do list.38 special loads. Velocity load for the.41 remington magnum.

Loads, For A Little Less Than 1200 Fps.


I am getting ready to load up some 9mm loads and can only find data from the older alliant load sheets. Alliant powder reload recipes ← back. Will produce efficient low charge weights, mild muzzle report and minimal recoil.
