Warning: I've only noodled around with this tool a bit so....FWIW
Gordon's Reloading Tool shows 10gr. Unique under a Lee 240gr. bullet produces 26,649psi and 1143fps from a 6" barrel. Changing to 15gr. Blue Dot produces 24,767psi and 1181fps. It also warns of low burn rate and inconsistent combustion.
The components were chosen from the existing lists and not tailored in any way. I would use these results very cautiously. But my guess is BD is a tad slow for the application.
