This warning is not appropriate for reduced loads, I think we need another warning Reduced loads can be as dangerous as over max loads.CAUTION: The following post includes loading data beyond currently published maximums for this cartridge.

I got board today and began thinking about a reduced load for my .308 using Blue Dot and Nosler 125gr BT. My motive is purely experimental, I loaded 10rnds with 15.5gr of BD and 5rnds of 16.0gr of BD all with Fed. 210 primers and my COL was 2.820 they all shot well, it took 5rnds to zero my scope for these new loads they shot low and right. I am pleased with how well these loads shot and I will do more testing with BD in the .308
