As with all things shooting, what works well in one person's gun and equipment may not work out in another's. When you get to rare events like detonations or out-of-battery fires in gas guns and so on, you'll often find the majority of persons can shoot through several barrels without having even one incident, while another may have more than one blow up. The point is that one person's experience being good doesn't tell you for sure something's perfectly safe.

I fully admit I can't tell what the Blue Dot issue is about other than to say most handloaders have had no problems with it, yet every once in awhile it blows up a gun. So despite it doing well when all is going right, I think it's likely prudent to decline to experiment with it outside Alliant's recommended uses at least until the problem Alliant believes in is explained.
