Blue dot

[Harold Pickens]

Cant find any in the Low Pressure load files using BD, I have other files but need to know what hull you are using and also what wad would help--but these are all for lead shot--I do have some loads using Nice shot and Green Dot in LP 7/8 oz loads.

I misspoke. Thought I had a 7/8 oz load of non-tox Nice Shot with Green Dot, but it uses 7625, which I have but may be hard to find, here it is:

Tom Armburst Load Test Results:
Federal 16 ga hulls, plastic, cut to 2 1/2"--I have a bunch if you dont
7625 19 grains
SG 16 wad
7/8 oz Nice shot #6
6 fold crimp
1107 fps and 7280 psi

I'll keep looking, and thanks for the pm.

Blue Dot is a very slow powder and may/will not generate sufficient pressure in a 16 gauge 7/8 ounce load at 1150 fps. The result may be off sound and inconsistent ignition. I would not try it until I found a recommended load in a manual.

Hope the pic turns out. Here are some 16 ga bismuth loads. Most much hotter than what you are looking for.
What are you shooting them thru?

Couple more, also found some 7/8 oz loads with steel shot, but much higher pressures.
