Harry glad you posted this ! After the spring Southern I recieved a 12 pounder of Red Dot from a friend as well as another 14 pounds recently . Anyway I was using SR4756 for 16 gauge ounce loads but have used all I had . Couple months ago I loosely worked on a load using RD with the SP-16 in the old AA style hulls and an ounce of shot . Yeah I know there are better/easier combinations but I have a pile of SP-16’s and plenty Red Dot .

Bill, That may be so, however I was operating under the assumption that unique is similar to universal which is apparently viable (but i dont have any of this powder). I recently asked tom armburst what the best substitute for 7625 was and he said universal, apparently there is a reloading article to that effect in a current issue of double gun journal.

Green Dot makes very nice 3/4 oz loads I have the data if you wnt/need it

Green dot also makes great 7/8oz loads

reloading is like fly tying -

what ever recipe you want to follow- you'll always need to buy something to do it right


of course, if you mix a fly's ingredients. the fly rod is not going to blow up in your face :rolleyes:

Check out the loads for Clay Dot. I use it exclusively for clays and hunting. Never had a problem of any kind whether in the heat or cold.

Second that on Clay Dot.

clay dot is a good powder I ve used it even in some 8 ga loads....charlie
