I'm toying with the idea of buying the 105gr mold that Lee Precision offers with the intent of using it to make a plinking load for my S&W 686 Plus. My thought process is that a light bullet will need less powder to drive the bullet, in turn won't need a heavy magnum primer, and in turn it would make for a relatively quiet and recoil light shooting.
I'm thinking of a small charge of a position independent fast burning powder like W231 or titegroup, or H110. This way I think I would be able to get away with using the bare minimum of power to get the bullet out and hit the paper.
Have any of you tried something like this?
