nikdanja Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Title says it all. Looking for a good place to start with a 180 grain bullet. Really don’t want to make 20 trips to the range so if anyone can help a brotha out, that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alliant specifically states Promo is a blend of OEM powders that burn at Red Dot speed. They also specifically state you can substitute Promo for Red Dot in any recipe, grain for grain.
