Does anyone have any intelligence on the Blue Dot vs .41 Magnum thing? I used to use it and probably have 100-150 rounds of .41s standing by, loaded with 220 gr LSWCs and whatever the acceptable charge of Blue Dot was, at that time - maybe ten years ago? I was never a big user of Blue Dot, but I did find it made very accurate handloads in the .41, and also in 10mm. It was one of the few powders that I thought made more accurate loads than #2400. And I never saw the slightest sign of a trouble.
I accept the "don't do it!" part - no problem there, but I would just like to know more, if the info is out there. Seems odd there would not be a similar recommendation for 44 Magnum, since the two cartridges are so similar.
