Which reloading books have good coverage for reduced loads.


My first Grandson is getting ready to go.

The Hodgdon website has a section on reduced loads with various calibers.

I've posted this link elsewhere and don't know if it will help you but it is worth a look as there are lots of reduced loads and also info on how to create a reduced load, using trailboss, for any cartridge.

I ment to say "thank you" for posting that info. I've been wondering since Trailboss came out if it couldn't be used for a reduced load powder.

The Speer manual has a lot of very useful reduced loads. HTH, Dutch.

I'd consult with Hot Bore...

he is our resident "expert" on such subjects...

no one knows more about reloading than Hot Bore does...

just ask him!

Also use trail boss a fair bit too.

Used Trail Boss (http://www.imrpowder.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-data.pdf) and Red Dot (http://members.shaw.ca/cronhelm/TheLoad.html) for reduced loads in a .375 H&H today and was most impressed. Recoil was mild and accuracy excellent. The shot placement with the two powders was almost unchanged.

Did some comparative loading last week with 4756 vs Trail Boss ; 6 different bullets. Tried to keep the velocity of each bullet the same between each powder.That part was not too difficult but the accuracy difference was really noticeable. The Trail Boss took the trophy. These little fluffy donuts are GEERRATE and offer a large margin of safety over other fast burning powders. roger

That's weird! I didn't realize safety was on the priority list for reduced load guys!?

PRIORITY LIST FOR REDUCED LOAD USERS

1. Disagree with HC

1a. Kumbaya with reduced load buddys

2. Take a risk and get a rush

3. Save $

4. Avoid buying another caliber rifle

5. Safety?

Naw, it isn't.. we all want to commit suicide as soon as possible..

Just consult Hot Bore.. he'll tell us all about it...

come on RC...of course safety is a concern..

the only difference is some of us understand those safety parameters a little more than just buying into the complete idiots guide to reloading...
you want "safety'??? use H 5010 and a full case in all your cartridges....you'll NEVER ever over pressurize a case ever!
