Alliant Red Dot and Promo are interchangeable and Promo can be substituted in any Red Dot recipe. However, they say Promo can vary lot to lot and you should weigh your initial charges as you may have to go up or down a bushing to get the same number of grains as Red Dot. Promo is only sold in 8 lb jugs and is a little less expensive than Red Dot. I think might be a little dirtier but the 8 lb jug I bought can be used with the same bushing as Red Dot and I get an equal number of grains of each. Your mileage may vary.

Why not shoot black powder it the old beauty that is what it was built to shoot ? Do not want to get into the smokeless power in Damascus debate shooting it with smokeless is not nitro proof testing the barrels.

I don't use black powder because of all the disadvantages it provides that include; a corrosive residue that gets into the receiver I can't easily clean, a much greater amount of work, effort and mess to clean the gun, not being able to see the target immediately after the shot, a much shorter life of expensive 10ga hulls I use for reloading and finally the increased safety risk when reloading shells for it with black powder. Smokeless powder was a wonderful invention.

I visited KTP a couple weeks ago. They have very reasonable prices imho. I really like Lefever guns for some reason. I’ve never owned one or even shot one that I can remember but there is just something about them that’s cool. Like Chris, I’m jealous.
