Until I shot the CBA ground hog postal match, I never messed with what I think of as gallery loads. The CBA ground hog match specified plain base bullets shot at 50 yards. I used two different Springfields, one with scope and one with a Lyman 48/17 combination. I shot the RCBS 30-150-CM and used 6.0 grains of Trail Boss. I did not drill out the flash holes in my cases, (TW-54's) but I also did not fire them with the light load more than once. They went back into the rotation where I typically shoot a 155 gr. Lee with 16.5 grains of 4227.
Have any of you experienced, low-vel shooters actually experienced shoulder set back with repeated firing of rimless cases? Do any of you drill flash holes?
I have been playing with an old Bannerman Krag carbine and 6 gr. of TB and it is fun and looks promising, but the rim alleviates my head space concerns.
