It would 'work' of course but tend to be position sensitive if the rifle is tipped forward or back. We used kapok as a filler with scheutzen loads to hold reduced charges back.

The best powder for reduced loads in my opinion is IMR's SR 4759. It was invented and is made for reduced loads in rifle cartridges. #4759 has twice the bulk of normal powders and will fill many cases more than half way with its 'reduced' charge.

Use 4759.
