I would strongly recommend against light loads against pins unless you feel like ducking the bullets coming back at you. Our research showed us that the slower the round the more likely that they will glance off the pin itself and come back towards us. I know several people who have lost blood and friends even a witnessed a guy lose a testicle due to bounce back from I beleive a hardball type round going too slow. The big guys that are successful shooting pins( which I am not one of) say you need a powerfactor of 195 or higher. Most of us run a 210 powerfactor. It is the balance between power/recoil and speed. Feel free to down load your rounds to experiement, and you will have faster splits with perfect shots, but at a match you need enough power to take the pin with a marginal hit, hence the 210 powerfactor. Pins are a blast, let me know if any of this helps you out.
Having said all this, I guess I dont know what kind of table you are using, tiered or flat, and how far back the pins are from the back of the table. Standard set is 4ft from the back of the table. Now obviously if the pins are farther back you can get away with the lighter loads. Doug
