     OTHER DESCRIPTION  REDUCED LOAD- If you have a younger person hunting this load will help keep them focused on the shot and not the gun's recoil. Hodgdon's 4895 powder has a 60% rule for reduced loads to make sure there is enough powder charge. This load is actually 1gn. more than the minimum amount needed. I strongly believe that the shot with these loads has to be 100 yrds. or LESS! I used it to see how it did and at (right about 100 yrds.) the deer dropped, but the bullet opened up have way when I recovered the bullet on the far side of the neck after it hit high on vitals on the near side.
