No 12ga data for 1 1/8 oz with Blue Dot on the Alliant site.

Start looking for powder. It's out there but you have to keep looking for it. Bought a jug of WST and WSF a couple days ago. Saw Clays a week or 2 ago. Been seeing Tight Group on and off.

Then trade it with one of your friends that does for a powder you can use.

Mark, looks like you're from Nebraska. I got an e-mail from Guns Unlimited in Omaha yesterday saying they had TiteGroup. I did see a fair amount of it there about a week ago.
Blue Dot is for heavy and/or magnum shot shell loads.
Years ago, I loaded 40 grains of Blue Dot in a Federal Premium hull, 1 1/2 oz. of Magnum size 6 shot, an RP12 wad and a Federal F209 primer for my "back pocket" load for use in Killers and other games. I only bought 1 # of Blue Dot and still have about 1/2 # left. I won a couple of nice pots with it.
When shot at night.t had a very loud report and a very long muzzle flash. The recoil was very stout out of an 870 TB.
You may want to dump your Blue Dot on some rose bushes as it was never intended for 1 1/8 oz. 12 gauge loads. There may be some load data for it in the smaller gauges.

I would try to find someone local to trade it for another powder. I’d only do it with someone I know but I know others that have traded powder with people they don’t know.

some of the game shooters around here call it "Boom Dot"
I'dhitthat
Back in the 1970's, a lot of games shooters around Louisville, KY (near Mike Linings fish house) loaded heavy charges of Blue Dot in Federal Paper hulls. They had a very distinctive "Boom! when shot as the 3rd or 4th shooter in line for a "killer".
