Might be looking for some data if you are willing to share.


Be happy to Hank....

Let me know what you need, as you need it...

Start with the smaller calibers and then work up to the bigger ones as you learn the parameters
of working with Blue Dot...it differs from regular powder patterns...

Key thing is to charge a case, and then seat the bullet, before going onto the next one..
OR, If you have to leave the bench...dump any powder within a case back into the container..

Practice to eliminate a double charge possibility..

That is hard to get use to, for a rifle handloader...

but is SOP for a pistol handloader...
