I don't know.  You sure it is blue dot.  I mean, it has blue dots in it for sure...but.....

Very cool. So yet another new powder. This is the first I saw Blue Dot but guess I know where it got it's name. I'm pretty sure you guys have worked up loads in this so how does it look?

It's Blue dot.  A moderate load, by my standards.  Upper end to others.  That load should do about 1240 FPS in a stock G20, and closer to 1300 in longer, tighter barrels (but not quite, perhaps a 6").

1280-1300 FPS is about what I get.
