My friend talked to the young man last night on the phone. He used 28gr of IMR 4227 with a 475 gr hard cast bullet. The minimum load in any of the manuals I have for IMR 4227 is 32.5 gr. Most start out at around 34 gr. with a much lighter bullet.

He ignored the manual, after firm instructions not to, and the bullet weight. He is an absolute Novice and figured if a little was good, less would be better.
