My father has loaded 12 and 20 ga for a while. I bought him the reloaders, some powder, shot and loading book (I dont remember which). I found him a recipe and told him to stick to it. At some point he decided Red dot was a better powder so I found recipes for that and re set it for him. He recently bought a 410 SxS and purchased a reloading set up from a guy who was getting out of reloading. The press was set up for Green Dot and that is what the seller had been reloading his 410 shells with.
Dad doesnt want to change powders so he has decided Red dot "is close enough" to the Green dot and that he would just leave the press as is and load the same volume with Red dot. I have explained many times to him you cant just change things with shotgun reloading. I can not find any recipes with red dot or green dot for 410. I will probably just buy him some powder and just say here use this, but he may or may not listen. I will not use, or allow my son to use, his reloads if he uses red dot without a specific recipe.
My question is does anyone use either of those powders for 410, and what are your opinions on this? (sorry about the long back story!)
