I’m all for reduced loads but won’t place my face next to something that hasn’t had a manufacturer involved. H4895 or Speer IMR data for me

I haven't had an event Otto... so you mis remembered for me..

I've worked up both upper and lower parameters, in any caliber I use it in, and then strictly adhere to those parameters.

I have exceeded max parameters when I was load developing, but that was worked up slowly and beyond what I finally set as maximum.

If people are experienced enough to know how to work up and work down, then lighter loads with Blue Dot or any other powder might get one in trouble. Its not for everybody. But its up to the shorter to figure that one out. They are the ones responsible for their loading techniques and results. No one else.
