What is your favorite deer load for your 45

With this new info that you guys have been giving I see that I have been pushing the envelope of safety.

When new info comes to my attention I'm the first to admit that I'm wrong, so thanks for the info and I'll reduce my loads down to 55grs of H322.

I thank you for sharing your info with me but I'm curious about your statement to me about having a unique rifle. Was there a reason for this comment?

My hunting load for years had been either Remington or Hornady 300gr HPs over a load (1.0 grain under max) of AA2015XMR with a strong crimp from a Lee Factory Crimp die.  I took lots of deer with this load and it would shoot sub-inch groups at 100 yards.

I recently switched to the 350gr nosler partitions and have been very pleased.  Again, using a load of 2015 just under max.  Both of these loads are a handfull but work very well.
