[QUOTE="Buska, post: 1424331, member: 81587"] [ATTACH=full]94579[/ATTACH] I was looking for extremely low recoil loads for my kids (daughters 9 and 12) to practice with but couldn’t find much. I contacted Hodgdon, they sent me their link on how to find starting loads with Trail Boss so went that route. Take this as a general guideline but at least gives you an idea of where to start if you want to tinker. It was so much fun, it’s comical how little felt recoil there actually is. I couldn’t believe it. Also, it surprised me how well some of the loads shot. I need to put them through the crony still but this was a good starting point. Anyway, here you go if you want it: 6.5 Creedmoor Brass: Starline (small primer) Bullet: Berger VLD 130 grain Primer: CCI BR-4 OAL: 2.825” (0.015” off) Powder: Trail Boss (8.2-11.3) Rifle: stock Browning X-Bolt Stalker LR Have fun and obviously, these charges are safe in my rifle. Yours will vary. [/QUOTE]
