sounds like my 1-1/8 reload

Have heard that Fed. uses a lot of Alliant powders, as you state it's probably their own specs for their shells. If memory serves me correctly (doubtful) I seem to remember back in the early 60s when I 1st started shooting clay tgts some of the Feds. & maybe WW had hulls marked "loaded with Red Dot". Anyway I love them papers, wish I could afford to shoot them all the time. Ross Puls

Fed has used RD and GD for years. Sometimes "no" dots.

And....with those hot Fed primers + the trash can sized hulls, it's an excellent choice. If they went to the trouble to build a better hull, say at least as good as the STS, they'd take over the reloading market.

Keep mind that Federal and Alliant are owned by the same company. It would make sense for them use Alliant powder in Federal ammo.

It's Green Dot. HMB

I didn't know Federal and Alliant were of the same company. That does make sense now. I know one thing, I just started using green dot and when the rest of my 700X is gone, it will be green dot all the way. Especially for handicap.

The fact that they are divisions of the same company hasn't always been so. They have, however, used RD and GD when it was Hercules.

I'm sure Federal has used other powder brands as well. Probably, a house brand of Dupont's PB ... but you could never get Federal to say so. I don't blame them. I'd keep my recipes secret too.
