I'm not going to load any reduced Blue Dot until I see some. This story about "it is safe in my rifle" just means to me that the rifle in question didn't blow up.

Where are you guys that are using Blue Dot in rifle cartridges getting your information, please?

Any writers have any pressure readings from the Alliant people?


If you look at Lyman's reloading manuals you'll see many reduced loads listed that use pistol powders. I haven't gotten around to putting any blue dot reduced loads together YET, but bought a can for that express purpose. The last primer I blew was back in 1972. Stupid is, as stupid does...YMMV
