Blue Dot is a slow burning powder that could cause some trouble,
its hot in all my pistol reloads, very sensetive to hot or cold temps,
Unique is best for sub sonic loads in rifles, the 8.5 gr. is right on and will give a nice low velocity pop like a low velocity .38 special,
Bluedot scares me, its great in 12 ga. buck shot loads, but for mags in pistols I use W296 or H110, 308 has too much emtpy space for a slow powder, it would peak pressure slow then very fast, fast powders peak fast and pop goes the bullet, lead is best too. just my 2 cents , been loading 7.62x39 poppers for years
with Unique, no flame on others. be carefull with large cases and
small amounts of pistol powder.
