My current load is a 200 grain speer TMJ Match ( full metal jacket semi wad cutter) 6.5 grains unique. The tested COL is 1.275 but to function in my gun I had to use a COL of 1.270, the load data shows 6.5 grains as the minimum charge and 7.3 as maximum. Reason why I used the minimum charge is I'm wanting less recoil ( for just paper punching). My question is, though the speer #13 manual shows 6.5 grains of unique as the minimum charge, Would it be ok to reduce even more say in the range of 5.5 to 6.0 grains? the data shows that 6.5 grains has a velocity of 860 fps I think to get the desired reduced level of recoil I need to be pushing closer to 750 to 800 fps. If unique is not the powder to use for what I want I also have Vectan BA-10 and Hodgdon Clays to work with.

Any help would be most appreciated thanks in advance HDW
