[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1304615, member: 90453"] Reduced load of imr4831 in a 25-06. I do not know the details other than the guy was looking for a load to shoot grouse while deer hunting and not have to carry two guns. It sheered the lugs off the bolt and it and skipped off his shoulder. Had he have mounted the gun an inch lower, the bolt would have stuck in him like a dart. There are powders that are safe to reduce. Others are not. I can say with certainty, imr4831 and win296 are not safe to load below 80% load density. win296 is pistol powder and a little different, but still has the same endgame if you don't use enough, kablooey. I always had a similiar understanding as JE, that too much air allows faster burn and a dangerous over pressure situation. [/QUOTE]
