IMR Blue
Has anyone tried this powder? There is not a lot of load data yet, so I am asking before I buy a couple of pounds. Looking at 9mm, 40 S&W, and 10mm. I understand that it is similar to Blue Dot.

I’ve never tried it, and don’t have any. Nonetheless, I share this quite from the Natoreloading site.
“ This is one of the best 9MM powders you can buy if you "work up" with it. Why work up? BECAUSE THERE IS ZERO LOAD DATA for 9MM on the entire internet. We just looked at the burn rate, took a guess since its marketed to be "Blue Dot" competitor, loaded up basically all the same charges as our Blue Dot tests, with same bullets, and went for it. Zero problems, worked fine. So now the only load data on the internet is ours, from our testing.”

IMR Blue is showing a faster burn rate that Alliant Blue Dot.
I'd get Ramshot Silhouette and call it a day!

I agree on Silhoutte. Low flash and top velocities.
