essentially 60% of the max charge for a given bullet

I did not try their loading protocol for TrailBoss (even though it may produce even lower recoil than the H4895) as my oldest found the recoil of the H4895 reasonable. This being said my 7 year old want to try a little center fire so might try some trail boss loads for him some day soon.

We are now slowly titering on up to a full hunting load
Be careful with going too low of load with a standard powder you would use at full capacity. Large spaces of empty case can result in failure to ignite properly and get hangfires.
