Might also mention that in 2018, a year after this old thread initially appeared, my Big Book of Gun Gack II was published, which has an entire chapter on reduced loads, including more details on much of the stuff that's been mentioned here, along with a bunch of loads for 20 cartridges from the .17 Hornady Hornet on up. It can be ordered from our website, www.riflesandrecipes.com.

A number of readers have told me there's some other useful information in GGII.
