Red Dot powder for 45 acp and 357 mag

[david1289]

Anyone have recipes for 45 acp and 357 mag that uses Red Dot? I can't find much anywhere. Of my four reloading books, only one has it listed.

I was hoping to use it for 230 gr JHP on the 45 acp and 158 gr JSP on the 357 mag. Hoping to set this up for plinking. Got lots of Red Dot that I want to use up.

Thanks.

try this, it is for 38sp +P just load it in 357 cases http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/recipedetail.aspx?gtypeid=1&weight=158&shellid=27&bulletid=30

and this http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/recipedetail.aspx?gtypeid=1&weight=230&shellid=35&bulletid=65

You won't find true red dot data for 357 as it is to fast and builds pressure to fast to acheive 357 volicity and maintain safe pressures.

The 38sp load above is for cast bullets but can be used for jacketed if used in 357 mag.
