    It looks like you are on the right track. It's always wise to back off some when changing primers or powder in your loads.

    Like he said, just back off a couple grains from you load that you would usually use with a standard primer and work fromt there. I usually do about 6.4-6.6 grains of blue dot wiht a 115 grain fmj.
