The Alliant Blue Dot powder delivers consistent performance across multiple shotgun gauges and magnum pistol calibers. This versatile propellant produces clean-burning, high-velocity loads that maintain uniform pressure curves across temperature extremes.
What Makes This Different
Blue Dot's spherical powder structure ensures consistent metering through progressive reloading presses while maintaining lot-to-lot uniformity. The magnum formulation generates higher velocities than standard powders without excessive pressure spikes. Temperature stability remains within 1.5% velocity variation from -20°F to 125°F, significantly better than many competing powders.Key Features
- Multi-gauge compatibility: 10, 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauge shotshells
- Magnum pistol caliber applications including .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum
- Spherical powder geometry for precise powder measure operation
- Clean-burning formulation reduces fouling and barrel maintenance
- Temperature-stable performance across hunting and competition conditions
- 1-pound canister provides approximately 140-180 shotshell loads
- Consistent burn rate classification as medium-slow burning powder
