Green Dot is as good and accurate a powder for cast lead 9mm bullets as I've ever tried.

Should be good in .45 Colt too, but I haven't tried that. In 9mm you can't achieve as high velocities as with Bullseye; Green Dot peaks faster.

In March 2012 I broke that 7 yard record using Green Dot in the same .357. In March of 2012 I set a personal "5 shot group size" personal record at 25 yards using Green Dot in my .357. I also use Green Dot for most of my .357 rabbit hunting load. Velocity would probably be in the 875-925 fps window, but I've not chronographed it. It's "easy shootin' " tho. All above loads used WW brass, and a WW 125 gr. JHP bullet. I like it, and hope it remains on the market. FjLee Denver CO Last edited: Feb 24, 2013
