Promo Loading Data

[1Getaway]

I picked up some Promo and can't find loading data for it. Have Lyman 50th, a little older Lyman and an older Speer but they don't list Promo. A lot of guys online say to use Red Dot data. I would rather see it in black and white and follow guidlines like I always have. Any help is appreciated. Looking for any caliber but mostly 9, 38, 45. Thanks

You might ask the Alliant balistician they make the powder.

Alliant doesn't show any handgun recipes for their Promo powder. It's a great target 12 ga. powder and if you were closer I would offer a swap for some of my pistol powder.

It has the same burn rate as Red Dot. It's more dense so it takes up less volume by weight.

I've used it for years. Just use Red Dot data by weight, not volume. This means that you shouldn't use any powder drops which use numbered inserts that measure volume rather than grains -- mostly used in shot shell reloading.

I think all "drops" are marked somehow. One should always verify thrown weights with a quality scale.
