seafire/B17GI haven't used that one..
but I can tell you how to work on reduced loads with it..
fill it completely up to the neck until it is overflowing.. and then weigh the charge...
start with half that much and work up from there..
my experience with SR 4759, is that it will allow reliable ignition and accuracy down to 25% of max case capacity... you can go lower, but that is like working up, instead you are working down... but instead of a case blow up, you are dealing with a stuck bullet in the bore...which suckS!!!

Thank you for the information I loaded 10 grains of 4759 with a 120 vmax and it shot 1295 fps. I am now going to try some heavy bullets with the same load. Ross

I could not force Loadtech to go that low. I got it down to 12.4 @34,000 and 1460fps up to 20.3@58750(listed max in loadtech) and 1970fps.
When I got below 34,000 it wanted to switch to 4227 or red dot.
