20 guage (RED DOT)

[250 sav]

Can I use red dot to reload 20 guage trap type loads. Most of the info I see for 12 guage except for in old reloading manuals. Any safe recipes appreciated.

No ... Generally speaking, Red Dot is considered a 12 gauge powder, and is too fast for 20 gauge target loads. ( As is "Promo", Alliant's bulk cannister powder)

More common 20 gauge target powders are Green Dot, American Select, Unique, Herco, 800X, Win. Super Field, etc.
