I'ver used reduced-load ammo for quite a while, with almost all my guns. I don't in my .22s, mostly because I don't have any molds.
The vast majority of my guns use cast bullets, but some like .30s, and 7mms also use FMJs for use where legal. I test until I get the cast at 25-50yds to shoot the spot with the full-power load's point of aim. The full-power will hit at 3" at 100yds, and the mid-range will hit at aim or up 1" at 50yds. I have a lot of pistol-shotgun powders to try with different bullets, and with/without fillers, usually dacron.
For my .30s, I have 88gr (for .32 Autos) 100gr RNGC, 125gr, 150gr 180gr and 200gr spGC. When I figure a load, I get 5-6 rounds and drop them in my pocket if I go hunting for big game for a week or more.
It's just one more reason to shoot, and a lot of fun, too.
If it's not fun...don't do it!
