I don't have the Lee #2 manual. But I have the earlier one. I also have the new ones from Speer, Sierra, Hornady, Nosler and Barns plus a bunch of the older ones. None have any recomendation for under loading slow burning powders. In fact there are warnings about it. A few years back Precision Shooting had a story about a M96 Mauser that experienced "spontanious dissassemply" while shooting light loads. It made me a believer. It is just that there are so many variables that a guy can get into trouble very quick and without warning. Lee Precision and Hodgdon are to great companies with great products, and if they say they have done it they have, and you have success with it, I believe you. Given the alternatives though, I will wait. Most of the 30 cal. bullets are cast a bit oversize to began with .309 to 312. My Krag needs 311 to work well. I can see an accumlation of differences causing serious problems in my 03A3 or 1917 (wouldn't worry about the model 700 at all) if I went to a slow burner. I also load cast in a trapdoor Springfield. Given that the 45-70 and the 30-40 were designed for black powder, and that is what I feed the cast lead to, I am going to pass on the slow burning stuff.
