[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3582087, member: 15054"] Your barrel may not be as fast or could be faster than another. I also have some Red Dot and I use it in cast rifle loads I have also sent some jacketed .308 bullets down range with it. Not as accurate as the cast loads but they went down range. I chronographed them also. 11.5gr red dot under 170gr lead gas checked bullet from a 22" 30-06 Mossberg barrel went 1400 FPS. 100 gr powder coat projectile from .308 with .3cc (2.2 gr.)of red dot goes mid 600's FPS. That is about as low as you can go with reliability and accuracy. (Case does not need resized after firing) These loads are safe in my guns may not be in yours. [/QUOTE]
