If anyone has recommendations on light loads and short barrel. 243 i'm all ears.

I got into reloading because I wanted to make reduced recoil loads for my kids in .243
While I know there are a number of ways to do this and each have their own merits I used the Hodgdon reduced recoil load directions using H4895
https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/rel...w-recoil-loads
essentially 60% of the max charge for a given bullet
I did not try their loading protocol for TrailBoss (even though it may produce even lower recoil than the H4895) as my oldest found the recoil of the H4895 reasonable. This being said my 7 year old want to try a little center fire so might try some trail boss loads for him some day soon.
We are now slowly titering on up to a full hunting load
