H4895 I a great powder to use for a reduced recoil load. I currently do a reduced recoil load for my daughter and her .223 single shot she has. By loading a reduced load for her it has brought me and her closer and has really energized her love for shooting. She is 7yo and without doing a reduced recoil load with the H4895, she probably wouldn't shoot much. She has shot around 150 rounds of .223 with the H4895 and we have not had a problem with a single one.

Follow Hodgons instructions on loading with a reduced load and you shoul have no problems. I've been able to get my daughter used to shooting now and each time we go out, I have been increasing the charge by .1. With the rate that she has been going, she should be up to 20 grains by the time deer season rolls around. She uses a Hornady V-Max and is hitting pretty good with them. I normally take her out 3 times a month on the weekends.

Enjoy the time with your son! I had several post on here asking questions too about a reduced recoil load for her .223. Search for them and you may be able to find something in those as well.
