Caution does appear in print to lower by 10% for initial charge.
Personally, I dropped starting charges ~ 40% for my recent testing.
I got a bit (1 3/4 lb) with some others on an auction, and w/ a 429244 Lyman, 262 gr checked, 0.430" 50/50 lube, I got a respectable group w/ 6.5 gr and a WLP at 50 yd: 2.75" (5), 2.25" (4), 1.0" (3). Standard Ruger SBH that's pretty whipped. Cylinder end shake, wobble at lock up. I stopped counting 20 years ago at > 11,000 rounds and now on barrel #2.
