[QUOTE="hseII, post: 1774816, member: 43953"] What a way to revive an old thread. I’ve been searching for a reduced load for my son who will be turning 10 tomorrow. His Ruger American is a bit light, as expected for a little fellow, so we needed to slow things down a bit. Academy had every common Hornady Lite loading except 308 Win. I called Hodgdon this morning & spoke with a fellow who suggested I follow the H4895 link below. [URL]https://www.hodgdon.com/resources/data-sheets/[/URL] I started out with 2 loads of H4895, 29.5 grains- 65.5% 32.5 grains- 72% Nosler 125 Ballistic Tip: Accubonds were not available at the local place. The 32.5 showed promise so I will try a few more & if they continue to do well, I’ll also run them over Magneto Speed. More Info to follow. [/QUOTE]
