There are those like me who still buy H870 when they can, but shipping costs usually scuttle any deals that require shipping.
 
bLUE DOT IS VERY GOOD FOR making powerful shot shells and pistol ammo.

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
