Hi all,

I've been digging around on the web and it looks like H4350 is definitely NOT recommended for truly reduced / youth type loads in the way H4895 can be used. What I'm wondering is how low is ok? I'm loading for 270 win - if there is a published load minimum for a heavy bullet (say 51 grains H4350 for a 140/150 gr bullet) would this charge be ok for a lighter projectile (say 95 or 110 grains)? I can't see it being an issue, since the pressure will be a lot lower, and this charge obviously isn't dangerously small for the cartridge volume.

Am I missing anything here folks? Thoughts? Anyone tried this sort of thing?
 
Regardless whether or not you consider some danger in loading 4350 light, it is just not well suited for it.
4350 needs the pressure of full loads to be accurate.
4895 is about ideal for what you want.

Im sure you will get better results in a faster powder than 4350 for those light bullets. IF just plinking for the hell of it use published min loads.
