300 gr Hornady XTP Magnum over 31.0 gr of Lilgun. 1746 from a pistol will easily give you 2000 fps from your rifle. I shot these loads in my 454 Puma lever action. Very accurate, very potent. Not a lot of fun to true your rifle in from a bench with these. They rattled my teeth with the Puma. Not bad at all when you're upright in a hunting position.

300 grain LBT LFN over 36.0 0f 296.  It has never failed me and i have never recovered a bullet from any animal I've shot with it.
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.
