I guess I'm still seeking some advise but, I am looking for a lower end load to keep myself in practice. I hunt with a Sierra 210 JHC over 26 grs of W296. These are not fun to practice with and I don't like top strap errosion. I loaded the same bullet over 15.5 grs of AA no.5. These rounds seemed to do what I wanted. They shot nice groups at 50 yards and the numbers were very nice through the chrono using a 10 shot sample.

H-1479
L-1435
A-1458
ES-44
SD-11

If anyone has some loads on the milder side that I could try give I would appreciate the info. I am pretty set on the bullet and not really interested in loads using a 240 gr bullet. I do have a couple of boxes of Hornady 200 gr HP XTP's and would take some help with those.

Thanks in advance.
