but I guess you only like to play with excess pressures.
My wildcat, the 50CB has been killing some 20 pound animals, bang-flop body shot, in the last month with 1 gr of powder.

Blue Dot has been known to produce erratic and high pressures in cold weather, rather the opposite of most powders who's pressure increase with higher temps and lower with colder. If you live in a cold climate I wouldn't use ammo loaded with Blue dot in below freezing weather. Not an issue for me living in the AZ desert.
14 grains of Blue Dot, a 125 grain XTP, and a Winchester magnum primer made for very sticky extraction in my 6" 586.
Lots of folks like Blue Dot. I'm thinking they can have my share.
armarsh, i bet if you switch to a cci500 primer, your cases won't stick any more.
