Minimum loads. 125gr.
So, have a weird question. But it's kind of, if I need to preserve powder. Book says 14.6gr h110, but is that based off desired speeds? So my thought is, if I really wanted to preserve powder, I could run around 60% full, or whatever cycles? It would be pushing near pistol bullet speeds, but atleast could make many more loads if needed. I know, sounds like an off question, most the time we are searching for max loads. Thanks everyone.
Re: Minimum loads. 125gr.
H110 and Winchester 296 should never be reduced! Reduced loads with those powders can and have detonated in the past. In short, reduced loads can be a pipe bomb waiting to happen with those powders.
Other powders like 4227 you can get away with it to a small extent, but then you might stick a bullet in the barrel running low density loads.

Oh ok. That is 100% exactly why I asked this question. Was worried there still could be side effects. Thanks for the info.
