Red Dot and Blue Dot
These two are back in stock at Powder Valley. Not sure how long that will last. Just a heads up.
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

Re: Red Dot and Blue Dot
The Blue Dot is just in 4# jugs now. The Red Dot is now gone. It's hard to believe how bad the Alliant supply is. Hodgdon and Accurate don't seem to be having this much trouble.

Re: Red Dot and Blue Dot
Any Alliant has been impossible to get. I've been looking for RL7 for a long, long time.

Re: Red Dot and Blue Dot
Ted, I worked up loads in my .444 with RL7 and IMR 4198, and did not find much difference in the groups. May have been a slight
edge for the RL7. If you are completely out you might try it.

I shoot a lot of RL7 in 6 different 375 Winchesters I have. It's the cat's meow for the 375. I'm not completely out yet, but dangerously close. I have used Accurate 1680 with decent results but really hope I don't have work up new loads.

Re: Red Dot and Blue Dot
I had a veritable pile of Red Dot a little while ago . Sold one person an older 12 pound keg and another friend an 8 pounder . But I’ve still got over twenty pounds of Unique and I think 12-14 pounds of Green Dot . I had a bunch of Blue Dot and liquidated all of it except one four pounder .

Re: Red Dot and Blue Dot
In the 444 with cast I used A LOT of H322 with bullets up to about 350-375 grains . I also used Varget at first with cast in the 444 with 380-425 grainers but I had a bit of trouble getting enough powder in the case to get them going fast enough to suit myself and when I tried RL-7 that problem was cured .
