[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 90701, member: 12"] Do not just try to reduce the load with standard rifle powder. You could blow you and your gun up!!! The loading manuals give a min and max load range for each powder do not go below that. That is extrememly dangerous as it can cause a detonation instead of a controlled burn like a small hand grenade going off. If you want a reduced load, call Sierra or Hornady etc and ask for reduced loads recipes. Normally they will give them to you and recommend using a pistol powder that will but say a 125 gr BTip out around 1800-2000 fps. Sierra also makes some Single shot pistol bullets that work well for this. BH [/QUOTE]
