Thank you for all of the comments. For my purposes, I will either buy a suitable reduced load or try loading a light bullet at the minimum charge to determine if this will shoot accurate. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.
I am a new reloaded. I have been looking for a reduced 30-06 hand load deer round using 4064 and a 130-150 gr bullet. I have read all manner of advice, as such, I am completely confused. I read a few post that low recoil loads do not expand the case correctly and this leads to a weakened...
I have been looking for a reduced 30-06 hand load deer round using 4064 and a 130-150 gr bullet. I have read all manner of advice, as such, I am completely confused. Do any of you have a proven recipe for these parameters and any advice working up this load. My range is 200 or less.

I have learned and received much good advice so far. I am leaning towards a LEE Turret. However, I have ordered a 2 books I am going to read before I pull the trigger. To answer a few questions; I will be reloading 44 indefinitely. I am a huge fan of the load for white tail deer hunting and...
