Several years ago there was a gent on one of the American reloading forums By the handle "SEAFIRE" who advocated the useage of Blue dot powder for useage in rifle cases from .223 right up to .338 mag.

His premise for these loads was to make reduced loads for cartridges so that youngsters and ladies might benefit from these loads in big bore rifles and not have to buy a smaller calibre for them that they would perhaps out grow and as they developed recoil tolerance they could eventually shoot full power loads in this same rifle. Most of his .30 cal loads approximated regular 30-30 loads, 150 gr. @2300 fps +/-.........or less if you wanted down to about say 1800 fps... these also served as Small game rounds in some calibres.

Has any one on this board heard of this, and if so tried it in any calibers as I have and if so, did you have sucess also... plse advise what cal .etc. for my information.

If not.......is there any interest in my results as I'm sure some must use reduced loads with pistol/shotgun powders.......

Tried it in .222/ 223/ 243/ 308/30-06 and .338 mag./.444 Marlin........

........did the unique /reddot/ Imr 4227/Imr4895/Imr4198 etc reduced loads route years ago.....and just want more bluedot info if available thanx.....
