    Quickload request for my new to me Cooper

    If you have the bullets you want to use , and the powder you want to use , about all you can do for less recoil is go to the min starting loads of powder . the most common way to lower recoil is lighter bullets , and going to a reduced load of powder . faster powders will lower recoil too ...

    use the Hodgdon H4895 reduced load formula . you can up the powder charge to where the recoil is acceptable . the 60% reduced minimum loads , are usually very very mild . https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/...

    Round Nose bullets

    the Remington core lokt , 180 Round nose bullets , was my Dads favorite bullet for hunting . sometimes it really made a mess out of the deer . Dad had one centerfire rifle , a 30.06

    loose primer pockets

    I can't enlarge the pic , but what I can see , it does not look like they are leaking gas around the primers . I'd try to tighten them for these low PSI loads . put a little fingernail polish on the head stamp , so you can keep track of them .
