Red Dot

[wt71]

I know I am most likely asking a question that 10 million other people want to know but does anyone know where I can find local IN STOCK Alliant Red Dot powder?

I am looking for 2- 8lb cans

I am also looking for Winchester 209 Shot Shell Primers......

Check Fire Marshal regulations. (You MAY already know this) - You are allowed to keep up to 5 lbs of powder without the 'permit'.


Jus' sayin'.......




I haven't seen Red Dot stocked anywhere, except for Green Top, in Ashland, VA.
(And they were limiting to three [3] 1lb containers, or one [1] 5lb container.)

The only place I have found it is at Cabela's in PA.

Though they have it in stock online.

Agreed, but you can store an unlimited amount inside little brass containers. Just reload quickly

Nowhere locally for 8 pounders, give Shydas a call and see if the have it or Promo, loads to same weight as RedDot. About a 2 hour drive from Carroll.
For primers I just ordered 10k Fiocchi from Graf and Sons, shipping including 5000 wads and Hazmat was about 35 bucks,they are out of powder. I have found the Fiocchi's to load the same as the Winchester, have used 40k of them over the last couple years with zero problems.

I've seen plenty of 209s in WV and I think I saw some red dot. Ill give them a call.

Yesterday Shyda's had a good supply of CCI, Federal and other primers though I don't recall whether they had Winchester on the shelf. No limit, either.

I didn't see any Alliant powders, so maybe they don't stock it. They had multiple Accurate powders in stock but mostly empty shelf space for the others. I did snag 4lb of Titewad, which I hope gets me through until Clays is back in stock.

I can't load that fast, though!!! Ha!
(Using 'my' load of 18 grains per 12 ga shell, that's 3,111 shells/8 lb keg!)

I'm not sure about the Red Dot, but, when it comes to 209's I have used them all. I just buy a 1000 of whatever the cheapest thing is on the shelf at the time. They all have gone bang and done their job for me. I don't care what name is on the box as long as they are 209.

+1 on Shyda's. I go there about twice a year and stock up on Red Dot, wads, shot and primers.

I buy the cheapest shot and cheapest primers and my chronograph has not shown that they are all that different. I try to keep at 10000 psi for consistent burning but, if I have to get a cold primer, I just up the powder content to get to 10000.

[w2kbr]

BUT..I cannot confirm that statement

Thanks
R

Yes Hodgdon HP-38 & Win 231 ARE the exact same powders, just different labels. I confirmed this directly with Hodgdon.

If you look at current load data, the charge weight & velocity yield is the same with those 2 powders in the same load.

There are a few other Winchester & Hodgdon powders that are the same as each other as well.
