I am not a scientist or a chemist....I am a reloader. That said, when the manufacturer of powder tells me a certain combination is unsafe, I tend to believe them. I doubt very much if they would lie just to reduce sales or to ward off potential buyers. Again, this warning has been around for over a year and many explanations for why it came about have surfaced. New formulations and newer and better testing equipment are the most prevalent. I believe if you want a better answer you can e-mail Alliant for an answer....I know of many that have. This is what is posted on their website........

At Alliant Powder, we take safety seriously. That’s why we periodically test our products in different situations to be sure our use recommendations stay current. Check here for any safety notes or recall information. Stay safe and keep accurate.
Alliant Powder periodically reviews and tests their published reloading data to verify that our recommended recipes have not changed over time.
During the latest review Alliant Powder discovered that Alliant Powder's Blue Dot® should not be used in the following applications:
* Blue Dot® should NOT be used in the 357 Magnum load using the 125 grain projectile (Blue Dot® recipes with heavier bullet weights as specified in Alliant Powders Reloading Guide are acceptable for use).
* Blue Dot® should NOT be used in the 41 Magnum cartridge (all bullet weights).
Use of Blue Dot® in the above cases may cause a high pressure situation that could cause property damage and serious personal injury.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
