I’d agree as you get closer to season but there is benefit to practicing with a reduced load. He can work on fundamentals of body position, trigger pull, etc.No point in practicing with a rifle with a “reduced recoil” “practice load” that doesn’t have any of the same ballistics as your hunting load

You will have to figure this out on your own because there is not data available yet. Hornady has a 160gr CX loading that you can use to get an idea of speeds you may achieve. As they say... start low and work up.
I plan to stock up on the 160CX bullets and load them myself. It'll be interesting to see how true to advertised BC they are. Hornady I wanna say they had loads up in the 3100 fps range, which would cover my "wants" out to 700 yards
Gets him comfortable with his rifle, breaks in his barrel, gets real personal with his trigger break, and it’s cheaper to load and shoot for. What’s it matter if it kicks a lil less at the range?You aren’t going to destabilize a light bullet with a fast twist.
If you want less recoil get a good brake (TI pro) or a muffler if you can.
silly to practice with something you aren’t going to use for negligible recoil reduction.
