Interesting. Green Dot is one of the few powders I could find during the past shortage. I would not say that I could buy it whenever I wanted but if you kept your eyes open it was readily easy to find especially compared to Hodgdon powders.

In the Alliant line of powders, Green Dot is a little on the fast side for the 28 gauge. I know there are a couple of loads on the chart, but my choice would be Unique.

Green dot in 28ga? Hmm....I have an old 3# tin of it; I'll have to look in the data for a load to use it up. Maybe in 20g also?? I've been using PB for 20 because I have LOT of it.

By far my favorite load for 20ga 3/4 oz utilizes Green Dot.

All the loads I saw used a CCI 209 primer, which I have none of. I want to keep using the Win209's because I have almost 10,000 in stock. I did see a variety of loads for 20 and 28 ga using Green Dot in the Lyman shotshell books.

If you have a Cabela's near you, you can go online and they have 8# kegs on sale right now for $179.99.
Elect ship to store and there is no shipping or hazmat fee. They will call you when it comes in. |

I load the following 20- from the Alliant site:
Win 209 primer 13.8 gr. Green Dot Claybuster 1075-20 3/4 oz hard shot It burns clean, is in the mid pressure range, and patterns very well in several guns I have tested it with. Does a wonderful job on clays but I do not hunt with it. |

Thank you all who replied.
Thank you Tad for the Green Dot source tip. I ordered 8 lbs of Green Dot that should get me to the finish line (& beyond). FYI my favorite Green Dot loads are (some from a '60's vintage Herters catalog): 12 Ga 1 1/4 oz 23.0 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (excellent upland load) 12 Ga 1 1/8 oz 18.5 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (good for skeet, spt clays, and an awesome handicap trap load. It is fast with even patterns.) 20 Ga 7/8 oz 14.5 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (target & upland) 28 Ga 3/4 oz 12.4 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup. (target & excellent grouse/woodcock load with (shot cupless) spreader through an "open" .001" & .003" choked Parker.) Thank you again. Best Fishes, Steve Kleist Ely, MN |
