I am new to reloading, found some Red Dot powder (actually 8 lbs for $105 out the door!). There is not any new reload data for it in pistol calibers, only in shot gun, I know it is an old powder (they changed it slightly about 15 years ago making it cleaner) that was used alot for pistol calibers.
Well I am ready to start loading powder. My question is how many rounds should I load for each powder quantity for evaluation? I do not have a chronograph, so I will have to test fire them.
If any one has experience with Red Dot and would like to share the load data, I would love to see it, I am starting off with 9mm, then 38 special, then maybe 357 mag (I know it is not great for magnums) and 45 acp.
Thanks Cmax
