Reduced loads in the Fireball

Rocky,
I have read your stuff on reduced loads for some rounds but is 7 grains of Blue Dot okay for the above with 40 or 45 grain bullets?
Thanks in advance
GregH

Seven grains should be fine. I'd guess (it's on my workup list, but down the road) that somewhere near 10.0 is gonna be max using BlueDot under 40-45 grainers.

You're a good man Rocky. Thanks for the prompt reply. Over on the Coyote Gods Board they don't believe in reduced loads and don't understand their usefulness. But I am a believer!
Thanks a bunch!
Greg

You are quite welcome.

I stopped visiting the Coyote Gods board when I saw how some posters were treated. It's a shame. There are some very, very smart and learned people there (Shaun Frame being one of the best), but woe betide you if you ever advance an opinion that goes counter to the board's owner! He'll roast you.

Thank goodness that never happens here!

I agree, they are now on the subcaliber bandwagon and JH is just as grumpy as ever. I ignore his rants and use whatever info I can glean. You are correct the SFrame is pretty sharp!
