So to the one with quickloads

Any chance you can see what difference there is for

Imr red vs red dot
Imr blue vs blue dot
Imr green vs green dot

I load 9,10,38,357,45acp and have a steal of a deal on imr powder but need to know if burn rate pressure are similar to the dot powders. Thank you if you can’t just let me know. I swear I’m going to have to buy the program one of these days

Definitely can do. Green dot and red dot are typically only for shot shell, they have funny burn characteristics when they are loaded to higher pressures. Not saying you can’t do it, just be careful. I have a canister of Red Dot I was eyeballing for use in my 45.


It would be helpful to know bullet, COAL and barrel length.


I’ll run it all tomorrow.




Reloading...it’s like knitting for men.

I use xtreme bullets for all the calibers I run Sammi for coal 4” 9mm 5” for the rest 6” for 10mm

What I have going on is the imr color powders hit the shelf at local shop and owner is giving me a deal at $10 a pound out the door so if it can be used for pistol loads I’d be set with powder for 10 years lol

So I checked QuickLOAD and my current version does not have the new IMR “Red, Blue, Green”. Powders listed. I need to get the update CD and see if the powders have been added.

It’s a phenomenal deal on powders, I wish I could help, but all I can Model is the Alliant powders.

Thanks for trying according to IMR customer service the powders are similar just need to reduce it a little lower than dot starting charges
