    Blue Dot Loads for .221 fb


    Read on James Calhoon's site that Blue Dot powder can be loaded for the .221fb at 2 gr less than the listed .223 loads. I have found some detailed Blue Dot loads on Reloaders Nest for .223 from 35 grain to 55 grain bullets

    Does 2 grains less than .223 sound right for the .221fb and Blue Dot?
