Anyone use a “light” 300 Win mag load

[tprice]

Have an older gentleman that I eat breakfast with that has asked if I would reload some 300 win mag for him, have the dies so not a problem.

He is wanting a some what light load, he is shooting a Ruger No 1

Never really shot reduced loads but on other hand my loads are not max loads either .

I have plenty of 4831 and 4350 on hand

He picked up a box of 165 gr Sierra’s

I was thinking something between 65-70 gr of 4831.

My Nosler book shows a load of 70 gr 4831 on lower end of load chart, kind of nervous about going much below that


Reason I am asking it seems like some where over the years I have read that too much of a reduced load can create higher pressures than normal. Not positive on the this but for some reason it sticks in my mind.



And YES I will put the correct bullets in this one LOL
