load suggestions

I bought a sidekick probably 5-6 years ago from Cabelas for 149.00 (wish I could by another one for that ).  I have been under-utilizing her since.  Ive probably put 100 rounds of 240 XTP's through her with a load of like 80-85 grains.  My accuracy has been like 5-6 MOA @100y.  I would like to hear what others have found to be accurate and lethal deer rounds.  I also bought one of Ben Hubbard's ramrod for it .

I shoot a 250 gr Hornady xtp with 85gr of BH209 [with the banned site breech plug], in a MMP 3 petal sabot. That load shoots 1 1/2" @ 100 yrds. I didn't shoot it through my chronograph so I don't know what fps it's going, but according to the load data it should be around 1750- 1800fps. I shot a buck at 85 yards with that load this season and it passed through a front of the shoulder shot [I didn't pick that shot, the deer did . I like a behind the leg lung shot, but he wasn't having any of it].

that looks great fastchicken!  I like the paint job too.  I havent put a scope on mine yet and for me its soooo hard to shoot even the fiber sights consistantly.  I should have mentioned the propellant that I was using.  I have been using American Pioneer Powder.
