RE: Reverse engineering Remington Managed Recoil loads
Kelbro, That seems like it would work. Looking at Remington's Managed Recoil loads, they are loading "light" for caliber bullets in the 270 Win and 30-06 and their velocities are alot lower than they can actually be driven. So in choosing a lighter bullet weight and using less powder in a particular load you can reduce recoil dramatically. I would pay close attention on what bullet you load though, the premiums such as the Barnes X and various bonded cores wouldnt work well at reduced speeds.
Good luck...doubleA
