how much reduced???? piece of piss with trailboss just use same volume of powder as one of your normal loads,thats easy with lee spoons.
Had a friend run 110gr hollow points. Watched him shoot a white goat, looked like it had been snowing.
Just after a low recoiling load still effective on deer to 150m, was thinking 125gr ballistic tip at around 2600fps maybe

Looks like 150 btsp, 150sst or 155 amax at around 2300fps will do the ticket with h4895/adi 2206h

the 125s come up cheap on trademe...factory 2nds as they are discoloured....they still shoot straight and deer dont know difference..... they will have stuff all recoil .Im pushing them at 2200ish from 7.62x39mm .
You obviously happy with there performance then? I would say I would be lucky to be shooting past 125m with that loadQuote:

deer at bush ranges have all been bang flops with chest shots...wallabies die period. they accurate enough for me with the x39mm slightly oversize bore I was pleasantly surprised how well they go. $30ish for 50 is good buying....for reduced recoil they would be a good option. you could go heavy and slow and still keep recoil down.
Yep all good, I ordered some to try, will see how they go, next option will be 155 amax at around 2300fpsQuote:

35gr 2206h with 125s sounds like a .22 and no recoil, wouldn't have a clue on speed, guessing maybe 2400fps, 3 shots around an inch at 75 yards with no rest leaning on the truck, dead inline just 3.5in low of my 178eldm load, now to shoot something with them

Be careful shooting that much of a reduced load. You can get detonation if there is not enough powder to fill the case properly.
trailboss might be better/safer option....its piece of piss to load thats for sure.
A lot of people using h4895 (2206h) for reduced loads in a lot of rifles - including 300wsm. It seems to be the "powder" for it, they say 60% of listed loads, so I'm right there.
I've found a few loads using 35gr of powder so I think I am "ok"
Trailboss was my next option, I didn't know if I would be able to get around that 2300fps mark witch is where I really wan to be

I might bump up to 37gr to be safe

How full is the case with 37gr smiddy? I know that running full/compressed loads with the likes of 2225/2217/2213sc in the wsm calls for circa 68-70grs of powder.
Reason I ask is you may want to use some kind of filler on top of the powder if it's only going to half fill the case to ensure good ignition, old man runs a reduced load in a 416 rigby (not sure which powder) and said he had to do that (fluffy stuff out of a pillow i think) as ignition wasn't very good and really inconsistent over a chrono
thats the beauty of trailboss...it is specificaly designed to fill up a case.....
It's over half full, but not by much. In all the reading I've done not many people are using the fillers with this powder, they just say use a magnum primer. I've sent an email to hodgdon and waiting there reply, might end up switching to trailboss but I don't really want to as there doesn't seem to be issue with what I'm doingQuote:

Herd back from hodgdon, starting load should be 36.6gr, I've loaded 36.5gr so am good to go
