If worried about case fill use Trail Boss. It works great for reduced loads, and still has plenty of case fill. I have also had good results with Red Dot. I use 12.5 grains with a 405 grain hollow base that gave around 1000 FPS roughly. 13 grains with 350 grain beveled base gave similar velocity and was low recoil.
