Plinker rifle loads!

[chris in va]

I figured this would be a good thread for those that download their rifle reloads to 'subsonic' or plinker velocities.

Today I shot my CZ 527 using 6.0gr of PB under a lee 155gr lead bullet and large pistol primers. Chrono'ed at 1100fps, recoiled about like a 9mm carbine. I love the little rifle, so this just ups the cool factor.

Anyone care to share?

Those loads are many and varied, and most easily found in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. I don't really have any to share, because I like my cast bullet loads to run about 1500-1900 fps. They're still a lot of fun, though, and I generally use the H4895 60% rule to get cast bullet loads. Another good powder for those type of loads is TrailBoss powder, and it can be used in a wide range of cartridges.

Reduced power loads can be a lot of fun.
