[QUOTE="Lee Goodwin, post: 2540064, member: 107289"] Trail Boss powder is good for reduced pistol loads but stay in the recommended low range and it will be light recoil...in a modern pistol. For rifle you go with H4895 and I usually go 70 % loads or hotter but accuracy often falls off. Hodgdon reload data center should have the data to use and not get into the danger zone of too low a powder charge and excessive cartridge pressures. It can be dangerous, so only use newer published data. I got a copper jacketed projectile stuck in a rifle barrel once ..from many things, including a reduced load... You could toy with paper jacketed bullets but that is another thread ..even paper jacket over one caliber size down... [/QUOTE]
