Looking to load a reduced load fot daughter in her axis rifle, darn thing kicks to much for her. I have varget , h 4350, r17, in what I think will be the best. I do have others and will take all info offered.
It's been about 5 years, but the the be finally got a chance to reach out and strike a elk. Shot was only about 350 yards, but I was happy with the results. A dead cow downed with a 100 ttsx barnes bullet and only about 15 yards and flop dead all with in 10 seconds.
