Can Red Dot shotgun power be used for any kind of pistol reloading, especially .45?

Welcome to the forum, Andy.
Of course it can. It has a burning rate between Bullseye and Unique, two great pistol powders. You didn't say which .45, but Sierra lists it for both .45ACP and .45LC.

Thanks for the quick response. I have reloaded for years but find myself in an area where the supplies for doing so are limited. I am currently reloading .45APC with 200g lead bullets. I have a Reising submachine gun and reloading is the only way to own and shoot such a great gun. Thanks again.
