Light loading a 243win/6creed

[Bustercluck]

What powder are you guys using for reduced recoil loads for a 90-100 grain bullet?

I've used BlueDot for lower speed loads (100 grain at 2450 fps) in the 243. Wife appreciates turning down the muzzle blast, and deer and coyotes still seem to die.

I had the same question like 1.5 years ago. Here's what people had to say at the time:

Hodgdon reloading center has a section on reduced loads. Unsure what is offered for these chambers but worth a look

I just checked that out. They have some for 243 but it’s all powder I’ve never seen before. Lol. I’ll see what they have at my local store.

Thanks for the tip Jerry.

H4895 comes up often for reduced loads so you may want to find some data for this.

Just looking on Hodgdon online - When I flipped through an Accurate manual a couple of years ago, 5744 seemed to fit into at least a dozen different guns I have. I had noticed it in stock at one the site sponsors awhile ago, but can't remember who. At 22.8 gr, a lbs of powder would last a long time

Use H4895 at 60% of advertised min.. load
