Disclaimer no actual experience with the H&H but. I bet you could work up a plinking load with Meisters 245 g cast bullet and 4227. There may be some cast plinking loads in one of my old manuals will look today.

I use that bullet in a 38/55 at 1400 FPS. Recoils like a .22 and accurate to 200 yards. Our gun club has a African Hunt outfitter and members that have made the trip. They all say best do a lot of work with reduced loads before the trip.

We ran the running target course at Vintage Cup several years. Rules require full power & it takes a lot out of the shooters. Have shot the runners with .22, Pistol caliber Levers and down loaded 30/06. It’s just like shotgun shooting takes a while to get a feel for the gun. Couple of hundred shots practice it’s remarkable how you can hit crossers chargers and turners.
