bLUE DOT IS VERY GOOD FOR making powerful shot shells and pistol ammo.
Alliant has one load for 45ACP
| Caliber | Bullet | Case | Minimum OAL[br](inches) | Bbl Length | Primer | Powder | Charge Weight[br](grains) | Velocity[br](fps) | Notes |
| 45 Auto | 200 gr Speer GDHP | Speer | 1.2 | 5 | CCI 300 | Blue Dot | 10.5 | 1,010 | - |
My lyman49 has 45acp bluedot loads as well (slowest powder listed):
200gr (#2 alloy) with Blue Dot
min 7.1gr = 701fps = 8,900CUP
max 10.6gr = 1012fps = 17,200CUP
another for a 200gr (#2 alloy) with Blue Dot
min 8.5gr = 679fps = 9,800CUPS
max 10.6gr = 972fps = 17,300CUPS
225gr (#2 alloy) with Blue Dot
min 7.5 = 660fps = 8,600CUPS
max 10.7fps = 964fps = 17,300CUPS
Any advise for using DRG lead? ie
45 175gr SWC
45 200gr SWC
45 225gr FP
