Dave R;

Have used pulled bullets in .308 and 8mm with mixed results. Deep seating should be no problem as long as the bullet is tight in case. I found a 7.5x55 Lee factory crimp die and when applied to my reduced loads , groups shrank to less than an inch at 100 yards. I use 18.6 Blue Dot behind a 110gr Speer.
Velocities run around 2000+ fps. Some question using this powder in a rifle but I have shot around a thousand in various 7.5x55 and 8mm and .308. I have had no flattened primers,hangfires or other pressure signs.

A groundhog the wife shot at 70yds with this load, turned into a soup bag. Very light recoil and economical. Accuracy is outstanding.
