I believe green dot is great, just most folks on ALL forums have complained in the past of DIRTY burns from Hercules powders, especially green dot. I have shot near 10 lbs of it, older generation (hercules) and it is dirty, but in 38sp. and 12 ga is is pretty flexible and shoots as well as anything else. I ordered three lbs of it during the Obamarama last winter to cover some bases, I do intend to burn thru it. I think it is also the flexibility in published data for red dot, BE, unique that green dot doesn't have, making the alternates far more popular. Oh yeah, I think red dot, unique, etc are fluffier than some others like green dot and blue dot, case fill density. Something along those lines. I shoot it and like it, but I'll pretty much load and shoot any powder that wont kill me, especially if it's cheap and available.
