Semi-

in your GreatPlains thread I noticed the heavy powder charges and did wonder.

A few years back powder became tough to get vs pellets and I was unwilling to pay the Hazmat fee( which, frankly, is strictly insurance money for the carrier's premium as it is handled no differently than any other parcel) so I dialed back on the grains from @ 90 to 65 in .50.
In .45, 55-60gr.

However, I'm unsure whether or not I'd use these for hunting loads vs my standard 75-80gr.

I was pleased not only with the economy but the range results as well. Plus, 65gr has little to no kick.

Especially compared to the 100gr+ loads you've been shooting!
