how far reduced are you looking for? Cast or jacketed? Big differnce in cast and jacketed and trying to make up 125 ammo to hunt deer with or 125 cast to just put holes in target paper.

Hornady has some loads for 100 & 110 gr bullets. I would think the 110 loads would work well and be plesant to shoot.

I second that.  And here is the link:
http://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/H4895%20Reduced%20Rifle%20Loads.pdf


I have used this data in 30-06 and 270 and it is wonderful. 


Although to light for hunting, I have loaded 30-30 with trail boss and before that with SR4759.  These can help the kids build confidence in there deer gun shooting abilities without developing a flinch.  I have done these with both 150 and 170 grain cast bullets (which also makes them cheap to shoot).
