Unfortunately in this instance there isn't any real hard data and no manual to go by. The only published load data is for 400 gr bullets. I don't need a 400gr soft point at 2300FPS to kill a deer. I know using a gun suitable for Elephant on a deer is a little strange but a reduced load should work quite well. I have worked up a load of 72gr of H4895 and a 300gr Hornady for about 2200FPS. The XTP pistol bullets I use in my muzzleloader work very well on deer I figured they should work well in this application also. 30 gr of trail Boss isn't much powder for such a big case and my concern is I won't get even ignition without using something to hold the powder in place.
