I've gotten some reloading data together. All sources - I've got three - mention blue dot as a good powder for heavy weight .357 ammo.
One source even suggests it was the most accurate powder tested for the Saeco #354 bullet (is a 180gr bullet).
So I went to look up blue dot and there are at least 3 manufacturers offering it.

Are these all the same thing? And if they are should a buyer select the cheapest or is there another consideration?
Also, there seems to be some kind of warning regarding the stuff and lightweight bullets.
I should probably just start out with Unique and see what happens. Even so, I was wondering what's up with Blue Dot?
