Blue Dot load experience
« on: June 08, 2006, 07:22:42 AM »
Just thought I would share this.  I loaded 9.6 gr. of Blue Dot behind a 158 gr. Hornady HP-XTP bullet and shot over my Chrony.  I got an average of 1,536 fps with a high of 1,554 fps.

This load was from data i received from Alliant and this was the starting load.  The high they recommended was 10.7 gr., but not sure I need it for just plinking an occasional grounhog or coyote.

I might try a 125 gr. bullet to see how that goes.

Ooops.  I forgot the caliber.  Sorry.  It's a .357, but I also have been trying some .38 special loads using 3.5 gr of Bullseye instead of Blue Dot.
