I'm looking for low pressure loads for my old pre-WW1 bolt action 30-06 for back yard plinking without overly annoying the neighbors.

I started with THE LOAD of 13 grains of Red Dot, but I haven't found a bullet combination that works well for accuracy in my rifle.

16 grains of 2400 behind a 190 grain cast bullet was fantastically accurate but not exactly low pressure (and I'm out of those bullets too).

I have some hoarded Trail Boss on hand and plan to try 13 grains of that on my next trip to the range but I've started wondering about using lower charges of Bullseye or Unique (maybe 4-6 grains?).

Any suggestions?
