Light Reloads

[manny]

Light loads can be used for all types of rounds, don't forget your rifle calibers. You can save a lot in terms of bullets and powder.

Light loads done correctly are extremely useful. Aside from getting the most shots per lb powder, they can help with practice without causing flinch. Ex. I load for 460 Rowland. Not crazy recoil.... But you don't want to shoot it all day. I can load light 200 gr acp cast loads that hit the exact same POI as my hot 260 Rowland loads.

Ive been doing 4.5gr of 700X with a 200gr xtremes. I'm not a good enough shot to know how accurate they are but "seat of the pants" feels good. I think around 740fps IIRC.

Meters like garbage though.

I don't know what powder measures you guys are using that you say that 700X doesn't meter well, I use a Lyman 55 and it throws 700X consistently at 4.7 grs , I just finished loading a couple of hundred rounds and spot checking every 5th round showed no problems.
