I picked up a lb of Red Dot at the gun show this weekend. There weren't many pistol powders available so I grabbed a bottle for .380, 38 special, and maybe 9mm.
It seems to be a VERY fast powder, listed ahead of even Titegroup and Bullseye which makes me a little nervous. The windows for charge in .380 seem to be about .3 grains. My lee powder measure with charge bar conversion (no disk) can vary that much between throws without touching the adjustment knob. It makes me nervous knowing I can go from starting load to max load without control. I'm also just got a Dillon XL650 which I will be setting up this coming weekend. Is that powder dispenser more accurate than the one I have now?
Am I over worrying? Anyone here use it regularly that can chime in with advice?
Of the calibers I listed, which would be the best/safest to use it for?
Pistols involved would be Glock 42, Sig P238, Dan Wesson .357 revolver, and Glock 24 with 9mm conversion barrel.
