[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 162429, member: 3733"] Blacktail, Here is published data, January 06 Guns and Ammo by Bob Forker. 270 Win Speer 90gr HP TNT, Ram Shot Tac, Rem 9.5, 35grains@ 2,500fps Hornady 100gr SP, Hod. H4895, Win LR, 36grains @ 2,400 fps. The author notes he puts a little Dacron pillow stuffing on the powder charge to keep it in the back of the case. My experience: I have read that reducing some powder loads below minimum starting charge can be dangerous. The same article stated that Hodgdon H4895 was a safe powder to reduce below minimum listed charge wieghts. I have made reduced loads with a few different cartriges by simply using 2/3 of the published data for H4895. I have never used a filler in the case and accuracy was usually 1-2" @ 100 yards. Keep the bullets off the lands with reduced loads. Primmers show no flattening . Attempt at your own risk. [/QUOTE]
