Having loaded many rounds with blu-dot, I can say it's better than 2400. Cleaner, you use less, BUT it won't do the OMG loads, too fast. For the OMG, Holy ***t loads, I use H-110.

I also don't like magnum primers, at least not in .44 mag. I did a test once using WW 296, everything the same EXCEPT using standard and magnum primers. Shooting groups while shooting over a chronograph, showed me a vast difference in ES,(extreme spread). The standard primers had very low ES, the magnum primers had very high ES! Groups also showed a big difference. The magnum groups showed vertical stringing, while the std. groups were rounder and smaller.

WW 231 for 800-900 fps loads with lead SWC bullets.
