Glad to hear the good news...and congrats on the young lady...that sounds like an awful nice deer for her first one..
if you want max velocity for an 80 grain bullet, the old IMR data for 4064, was 42.5 grains, for an MV in the 3350 fps range...
its a load that has been around for decades...
with the Barnes, work up of course as they seem to have different standards to apply than other cup and core bullets do....
but that powder has always been accurate for me...along with strong velocity potential.. even on barrels that are starting to wear a little...
IMR 4895 is never a wrong answer either... it'll get you to that 3300 fps range with an 80 grain bullet also...
best of luck to you and your daughter...
and congrats to a proud dad also...on setting the little lady up for that fine sounding deer...
