[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2390336, member: 807"] I got away from blue dot due to several folks on the interweeb blowing up good guns with it. Some lots were worse than others. You were on the right track in finding the most accurate load for that gun. I usually do that for each rifle I load for, and for the serious handgun loads as well. For the plinking stuff not so much. Bullet seating depth can get hairy as well, especially with AA#5. Pushing the bullet a little too deep in the case can jack pressures way up in a hurry. I like the WW-296 for most of my 44 mag loads. works well in the 44 mag rifles as well. Big heavy bullets that can impart most of their energy into the target are better stoppers than higher velocity rounds that zip on through. True, you get more hydrostatic shock with a high velocity round, but if the bullet stays just inside the hide at the far side, you can't get much better than that in my opinion... The 296 is good for the 454, but in a 45 colt if you try to stay within safe pressures for it, it doesn't burn well. [/QUOTE]
