IMO, a 10% reduction is not safe, 10% more often than not, puts you below the Published Min Start Load.
Below is Data for one of my rifles, a 25-06Rem. In this example, if you reduced the Max loads by 10%, every load is below the Published Min. Start load.

Below is Data for a 338Lapua Mag. With a 10% reduction in Max load, only 1 load is above the Published Start Load.

If I'm not doing a load ladder, I just pick a powder weight between Min & Max, why screw around with percentages?
You just pick a weight between listed min and max as a starting point? I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly.
