Reduced recoil .308 loading for wife.

[R.Speir]

Hey guys, had a question regarding a reduced recoil load for my wife.

Rifle; Browning Xbolt Micro Hunter wearing a Redfield.

I want to load Barnes TTSX 130s for it, anybody got a pet load similar?

I don't have a specific load for that bullet, but I have shot some 150 SMKs using Trail Boss. They were very pleasant to shoot. You might go to Hogdon/IMR's website and see if they have any load data for you bullet weight.

Thank you mb3.

I looked at Barnes data, it just seem pretty hot. Also their listed OAL is nearly as long as the magazine on the baby browning.

Take the H4895 charge weight for that bullet and reduce by up to 40%.

If I do that can I seat the bullet a bit further?

Thank you MtnCreek.

The Hodgdon site takes H4895 max load for the bullet weight and uses 60% of that for reduced loads. Works very well. No worries. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thank y'all, I appreciate it very much.
