Hello,
   I am curious about what would happen if I were to download a .270cal
round from my normal 50 grns. to say...about 30 grns. Would this be a
dangerous thing to do. I shoot 130 grn bullets, BTW. Would the cup 
pressure go up or down?  Could it possibly damage a rifle?   What about
the sound level? Would it be significantly lower or just a little lower?
I am just wondering about this since a friend and I were talking about
it and we could not come with a good answer. Thanks for any answers.

                                                   Keith M. Boyd
