    46 and 70 with PROMO

    We hear a lot about loads with Unique.
    PROMO is not one we hear a lot about in the 45-70.
    What is your idea of the estimated velocity of 325 grain RCBS slug pushed out of 22" barrel with 14 grains of PROMO?
    Chrono data is even better!

    FYI Promo is equivalent of Red Dot. More like the old Red Dot, good but dirty. GW

    I asked Alliant about Promo vs. Red Dot for reloading. Got a reply from one of the smarter-sounding employees. He said the two are very similar in all respects, except that Promo has no red dots, and there's either no density spec for it, or its density specs are much more broad (can't remember his exact words).
    For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Ecclesiastes 1:18
    He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool become servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29
    ...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40


    Carpe SCOTCH!

    Promo and Red Dot work in everything. No surprise it works for you too.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Use Promo the same as Red Dot by weight only not volume.

    Quickload says 1346 fps with a 26 ksi chamber pressure.
