Thanks SMLE.

Thanks SMLE & Miseryguts. 👍 I've been "rolling my own" for the past 35-years...started out with handgun reloading, but have never loaded hardcast (other than in a .45-70 Gov) in longs before. Just found the H&N's online. Just need some Unique or Green Dot now. Miseryguts, would you be prepared to share any load information that I could try at completely my own risk? Thanks again fellas. Much appreciated.

Thanks Mattnall, Yes, she’s used the .22 Hornet and .220 Swift. I was going to let her have a go on one of my Creedmoor too, as it’s less recoil than the .308’s, but she has a bee in her bonnet about the .308 and as you say, I dont want to scare her off it, before working up to heavier bullets and loads...typical awkward woman! :-D

Thanks guys, all of my rifles are fitted with sound moderators.

Hello guys, I'm looking to load up some rounds with a mild recoil to get my daughter started with one of my .308's. (she's 8-stone soaking wet) I only use European powders (mainly VV N150 & N140) and was hoping someone could share their knowledge. The VV website has a light load for a 100-grainer, using N110 on it and that's probably the way I'm going to go, but having said that, I thought I'd ask as practical experience is always valued. Many thanks, Lee.
