Funny you bring this up as I just started playing with some Red Dot 10ga loads recently. After seeing Hercules had used up to 29 grains with 1 1/4 ounce I felt pretty safe with trying 25 grains pushing 1 1/8 ounce. I was feeling more recoil in 10+ pound gun than I think is needed but they broke the trap targets nicely. I am loading another box with 22 grains of Red Dot with 1 1/8 ounce to try this week. I would expect Red Dot to be a very good performer in sub freezing temps.
