"Draw" down powder?  No
"Pull" down powder is powder extracted form Military surplus ammo and resold.

It is invariably a non-canister grade powder.

The seller may have some suggested loads for a few cartridges.

You need to carefully work up any loads, and having a chronograph is a real plus.

You know when to stop  increasing after  you hit the correct velocity.

Using the powder in a different cartridge puts you even more or your own

No!, no!, no!,... and you know it.  I suspect brickeyee was taking a typing short cut when he posted this.  

You carefully work up a load and STOP if you ever see the signs of excessive pressure.  If you can get to the recommended velocity for the bullet, that would be great but signs of excessive pressure have to be a "go no further" criteria.  If you do not know what these are, you should NOT be doing load development.

I believe you miss understood what the gentleman explained. I understand completely. and agree with him 100%.
When you find that majic sweet spot (velocity) that your particular barrel likes. he did infact mention,,," carefully working up your loads and useing a chrono"
