Bill, go to Alliant's website and you can find all of their recipes. However, I don't think you'll find any for Red Dot and 20 gauge and suspect you'll be needing to get a different powder. If you are sticking with Alliant, Unique is a decent, versatile powder and I've used Green Dot in AA 20 gauge hulls as well.

The older Alliant manuals had loads for 20ga with red dot, but they don't work well in automatics.

your right guys, ill prob have to change powders. maybe update to one of the newer powders on 12 and 20 both.be nice if the new powder worked in .38 caseings at least as well as reddot did in my revolvers.

I'm using the same Wally World Remington Hulls, WWAA-20 wads and 14gr of International Clays. Fills the shells perfect with 7/8 oz of shot so I get a perfect crimp. BTW that is the recipe on the powder bottle as well.
