Hunting & Fishing Reduced Recoil Load

Re: Reduced Recoil Load

Yes, and they worked very well in our 30-06. We used 130gr bullets and H4895 powder and the boys killed a number of deer as they were growing up. All were one shot kills and the bullets went through the deer.

The reduced recoil load make it very manageable for small boys to shoot the regular hunting calibers. Hodgdon's web site has a fair amount of reduced recoil load data.

Manageable and effective, given reasonable marksmanship and judgement regarding distances. I'd draw the line before getting very far beyond 100yd.

Re: Reduced Recoil Load

I you look at this years Hogdon Annual Magazine, there was a great article on reduced loads for hunting. Might be right up your alley.
