Hey folks I was looking for a very gentle load to shoot hogs at the feeder. My feeder is 40 yards from the stand at one location and 60 yards at the others.
HODGON'S 2012 manual lists a load with Trail Boss and150grn SIERRA SP bullets. Low end is 18.0 grains for 1302 fps high end lists 25.5 grains for 1687 fps.
These loads are for a very lite and lankey young lady her reach is as long as mine but she weighs in the 120 lb range so I dont want to make her recoil shy or develope a flinch.
I have no experience with this powder and dont want to buy any if it doesnt do what I need it to do.
She does very well at the range with my 10/22 and if she enjoys hunting I'll find a more suitable rifle for her but for now this is only a test.
If you have a more suitable load please post it as I do have quite a few powders in stock.
Thanks for your input
PS: This load is for a 300 WIN MAG
