[QUOTE="IllinoisBurt, post: 2889286, member: 35752"] Easy answer for reduced loads is H4895. My book shows 63.0gr - 66.0gr for 100gr so following their 60% rule you should be perfectly safe starting anywhere in the 40gr area and work up until you find a happy area of reduced recoil. Frankly so long as it's over 2300 fps it should kill deer just fine, though he won't likely get a spectacular Weatherby meat destruction like that same bullet screaming at 3500+ would do.
