Good news: Ballistic Products has Green Dot in Stock!!
Bad news: It's $370 for 8 lbs!!

Alliant Green Dot Powder (8 lb)

Green Dot Green Dot is not very elastic, but it does possess a wider range than Red Dot. The slightly longer burn rate (over Red Dot) will generate as much or more velocity and reduce felt recoil in many loads. Light slug loads have benefited from the properties of Green Dot.

I can still get Titegroup for $192 out the door for 8 pound jug. That is with tax and all, $192. High Gun is the same powder and price also. Kind of a no brainer right now for me. Longshot for 20 and 28 gauge, to he!! with Alliant powder.

Especially now that they released all the additional data as High Gun, being able to run 1 1/8 oz loads from 1090fps to 1300 fps is right in the wheelhouse for Green Dot - except for 1/3rd less of the cost!

I have been using Alliant E3 and Greendot exclusively for some time. Currently, two 8lb of each left and will no longer be purchasing Alliant powder at these current prices. It's absolutely a shame and I feel they will price themselves out of the market. Hopefully, they have a plan to keep themselves afloat!! I have already purchased an 8lb jug of Highgun to try as my next go to powder.

What does the High Gun powder look like? I checked the Hodgdon website an could not find a picture of the powder. Is it basically the same size, and shape of green Dot?
Thank you

Nowhere close to Green Dot. A lot more dense. It is the same exact powder as TiteGROUP. For comparison, 17 grains of Green Dot is a #28 MEC bushing. 17.1 grains of High Gun/TiteGROUP a #18. FYI, those are the bushing chart weights.

Not sure if this gives the best visual or not:
