Shot the .45 Colt Green Dot loads at 50 yards today.
The wind was pretty durn gusty and I was having problems with sun glare on the sights. But I had a good time and proved to myself that Green Dot can give good accuracy in the .45 Colt. I knew it worked well in the .45 ACP and the 25 yard groups with the .45 Colt sure showed potential.
Best Group of the Day
-was almost completely off the target! Sun glare on the front sight did not help my poor eyesight.

I blackened the front sight and that changed the point of impact drastically.

When I bought the Green Dot it was considerably cheaper than Unique. Not sure if that is still the case but I will be checking it out.

20 gauge shotshells but have used a lot of it for that. This is interesting.

The 7.5 gr. of GD seems about equal to 8.5 gr. Unique
in the .45 Colt with the Keith SWC. It hits about the same place at 25 and 50 yards.

Interesting! I have a partial can of green dot around that I got in some deal awhile back. I’m not sure if I’ve ever tried it. Like Mr Taffin, I like Red a dot and have used quite a bit of it over the years. I may have to give that Green Dot a try!
It seems to be about halfway between Bullseye and Unique.
Works well in the .45 ACP from personal experience. I am sure would work well in the .38 Special also.
