I tested Green Dot and liked it also in .45 Colt, .44Spec, .44Mag, and .357. I used to be just a Unique and 2400 sort of guy. All I ever needed for peanut up to big bore.... But since the last 'scare', I started a crusade to test a 'range' of powders, so if 'my' powder gets scarce again, I can fall back on other powder loads that I know will work too. Even prompted me to get a chronograph.... It's actually been fun, although I now have a 'bunch' of powders sitting on my shelf! In some cases, it has changed the powder I will generally use, such as 5.0g Red Dot (both 158g SWC and 125g SWC/TC) for my target loads in .357 instead of Unique. I now know Universal is a good substitute for Unique as well.... Always something 'new' to learn ... and test....

Hulley, no need to apologize. There are no dumb questions.
