So.... I bought a bunch of ammo from a friend the other day who acquired them through a marriage. The new spouse's previous (deceased) husband was very into guns and an avid reloader.
Included in the batch I bought were quite a few .45 Colt rounds, some new, some reloads.
The reloads are all clearly marked on the boxes as to all the pertinent data you'd want to see for reloads, and knowing the history of this ammo, I am confident they are what they say they are.
One box of 50 was marked as 250 gr LRNFP with 6.5 gr of Red Dot.
I have NO experience with Red Dot. My gun is a S&W Mountain Gun in excellent condition.
Question is: Does this load seem reasonable/safe for my gun?
If not, I be pullin' all them bullets out and starting over. Not that I'd look forward to it.
