Been studying reduced loads for 308 Win with 125 grain bullets . Have seen the Seafire 30 grain load and also accurate 5744 27 grain @ 2000 fps Of course the plethora of 4895 info. I have varget and tried the speer starting load of 45 grains @ 2825 fps Found the hornady loads 125 grain SST. The one that interests me most is Benchmark 41.6 grains @ 2600 fps. This powder sits between IMR 4198 and H4895 in the burn rate chart and will also be useful in my son's 223 Rem. Would like to establish a load in the 2300 to 2500 fps range. IS THERE HOPE ? Am I putting myself in danger ? Or am I just a good guinea pig ? Relatively new to reloading and this is my first post so go easy on the old guy.

You'll probably want to have a moderator move this from the muzzleloader section to the appropriate section for reloading or wherever you intended it to be

Seems you could get to your goal with H-4895, close.
I use the ‘60% rule’ as a floor, don’t necessarily drop right to it, normally stay above it a fair bit.
