does anyone care to share some?

thanks

i'm getting old and i cannot handle the recoil as much

Mildest safe loads would be the trailboss formula -

I have good accuracy with 34.1 grains of IMR 4198 behind a 405grain bullet. This is very close to the mild trap-door loads and doesn't kick much. Jeff's load will be lighter, though.

10 to 15 grains of Unique under a 405gr cast bullet. 15grs being the top end of the spectrum. My wife will shoot these loads and she doesn't care much for recoil at all.

Pick up Lyman's cast bullet reloading manual for more data.

5744

Use one of the powders above to get 1100+/- fps. You can shoot them all day long and they will knock the snot out of anything they hit.

I have always used Unique and 5744 for these loads but others will work just fine.

13 gns Trailboss and a 250gn 'mousefart' bullet, hell, a rimfire kicks more than that!

Start with 45 grains of 3031 and work up to as much as you can stand.

IAW with the old Lyman Cast Manual, find a 366 gr (or so) cast projie and stuff it in front of 30 (1090 fps) to 39.0 (1403 fps) of IMR 3031 and will treat ya well.
420 grainer shows 34. (1167 fps) to 38.5 (1352 fps).
10- 15 grains of Unique has my vote, though I am now testing the 3031 loading.

I use 25 gr. of 5744
