A load of 10gr of Trail-boss behind 150gr Hawkesbury bullets does well on all the other targets if you want an even milder load.
Thanks for the reply Taps. I have been worked on a couple of loads using AR2207. I started with 16.0gns and then moved up to 16.5gns behind a 165gn Westcasting projectile. Zero damage to targets and fairly mild as well. Next step was going to be bumping up to 17.0gns.
