NO, use a faster powder!  (There is probably going to be a bunch of these
posts, but hey, it's a safety issue and I hope at least one of us gets to 
the posters site soon).

I've used IMR4227 for reduced rifle loads before, with excellent results.  
I don't have my manuals here, but you might see if you can find a load 
based on that powder for your rifle.
