Well, with the usual warning to use at your own risk, I've fired hundreds of 150 grain jacketed bullets from my own '06 with 16.5 grains of Unique, as well as hundreds of the same 150 grain jacketed with between 18 to 22 grains of Blue Dot. The Unique load is quieter, softer on the recoil and ran (best as I can remember) ran about 1850fps, while the Blue Dot was more like 2200-2300, a noticeable difference.
One MUST be VERY CAREFUL when loading these reduced loads so as not to double charge.
Bullets were various makers, even Midway bulk packaged, from spitzers to RN to FN. All were shot for practice only on paper, no animals were attempted with either of these loads.
