does anyone have loading info for 200 gn lead bullets using greendot, bluedot, bullseye, unique, for mild loads (cowbot loads) any info appreciated
These are from my older Speer book. Couldn't find anything on bluedot did find something on reddot thought maybe that's what you meant. Hope these help.

From Alliant -
Blue Dot 13.0 grains COL 1.550" 925 FPS
That's a MAX load for a jacketed bullet, safe with a lead. Start about 10% lower, 11.7 grains, you don't need that velocity for CAS anyhow.
If you are going to use the Dots and their kin, I suggest you pick up a copy of Alliant's Reloader's Manual. Your powder dealer should have a stack of them. Cover price is two and a half bucks, but dealers usually give them away. Lots of information in there.
