Should have posted here first instead of reloading. I found some Speer 300 grain UCHP bullets I believe they are called Plinker. I am going to work up a load with H4895 powder using the 60% reduced data from Hodgdon. I am tired of recoil and want these to shoot in the 1500 fps range. Anyone using them for deer? I hunt the northeast where a shot over 75 yards is a long one.
These will be shot in a first generation 1895 Marlin I have owned for 30 years. She is an oldy , pre-safety micro grove barrel.
