I shot a ton of Red Dot back in the 80s (.41 .44 and .45ACP) and found that - it IS kind of dirty and it will either go through your powder measure freely - or it won't. My Uniflow worked OK with it. Watch for bridging in your powder measure. If you're loading on a progressive pay very close attention to each case's powder level.
