H110's purported tendency to "detonate" when down loaded has always seemed fishy to me. It's tendency to incomplety burn, thereby obstructing the barrel, makes a lot of sense. I use H110 for magnum loads only.

As far as Blue Dot goes, I used it for 125 gr 357 loads several years ago. Speer number 11 max load is 16.3 grains. Muzzle blast and flash were impressive, to say the least. Flame cutting to my 686 was pretty severe. I'm glad I shot only a few. I was new to reloading at the time and realized I needed to do more research before approaching maximum loads. At the time I felt lucky to have suffered no more damage than flame cutting.

Not sure where I was going with this.
