Have 3 will Trade away 1. Which shall it be 2400,Blue Dot, or 300-MP for 357 Mag

[vogironface]

I would like some advice since I am new to loading this caliber. I have 1 unopened can each of 2400, Blue dot and 300-MP. I would like to trade one can for some 357 Mag brass and would like to know which powder you all think is most suited. Presently I have wadcutters 148 gr, 125 gr RNFP, and 158 gr TLRN. None of them are gas checked. I will likely shoot the magnums at higher (1100-1300 fps) velocity (hopefully I can make it work w/o the checks) as I have 38 spcl loads I enjoy for the lighter shooting.

Sooo, one can has to go. What do you think?

Thanks for your opinions.

I have used Blue Dot for years. Works well. Both the .38, and .357. A comfortable load.

Do NOT get rid of the 2400.............

Blue dot has a safety warning for some 357 loads http://levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8768. I would keep the 2400 and 300-MP.

Wow, I had been researching for quite a while about blue dot and determined it was a pretty good powder for 357. I have not come across this. Thank you for posting it.

I'm a very satisfied user of 2400,sorry I have not used the other two.

I've used both Blue Dot and 2400 in the 357Mag with good results from the Blue Dot in target loads and 2400 in Higher Power loads. Of those two I'd keep the 2400 I think.

Keep the 2400. Very versatile powder.

Another vote for keeping the 2400

[runfiverun]

keep the 2400.
it is pretty flexible in the 357.

[Shuz]

Keep the 2400 and use the others for trade.

Been using blue dot for years in my 357 loads. Worked fine for me.
