Been trying to find a accurate hunting load for my RSBHH. I have tried a few. The most accurate so far is 12.0gr of Blue dot powder beging a 240gr soft point. Would this be a good load to hunt with?

I'm not a fan of Blue Dot, but if it is accurate in your gun I'm pretty sure it will work. I'm using 12.0 grains Longshot with a Hornady 240 grain XTP and it's worked on a small pig, and several Whitetail deer with no problems. My velocity out of a 6 1/2 inch S&W 629 is a hair over 1200 fps, and I would think your load of Blue Dot should be doing very close to that. Give it a go and tell us all about it. Don't forget the pictures. We like pictures of dead animals.
