[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1279922, member: 5220"] How reduced to do you want to go? H4895 can be used in the 300 weatherby at greatly reduced recoil and velocity. Here is how. [url]https://www.hodgdon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/h4895-reduced-rifle-loads.pdf[/url] Then look up load data for the H4895 in your caliber and can reduce by up to 60% of max load listed as a starting load. Hodgdon lists data for 150 grain TSX max load of H4895 of 61.5 grains. That can put your starting load down in the 42 grain range with velocity SWAG of approx 2100fps. Can work up to comfort level for her from there. [url=http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle]Take Aim at Rifle Reloading Data | Hodgdon Reloading[/url] IMHO If I am going to reduce velocity down into the lets say 2500 - 2900 fps range I would use a softer bullet than the Swifts, like Nosler 165 grain hunting ballistic tip. Hodgdon has load data for it with H4895 also. Be a smack down load for slower speeds! [/QUOTE]
