I also am a fan of SR4759 for reduced loads in rifle cartridges. I have used it in several cartridges, most extensively the 30-06.
Speer #10 recommends: 20 gr 4759 with a 150 gr bullet for 1620 fps.
..................... 22 gr 4759 with a 150 gr bullet for 1786 fps.
..................... 24 gr 4759 with a 150 gr bullet for 1957 fps.
I used to shoot a lot of ground squirrels with the 06. My favorite bullet for that job was the 110 gr Speer varminter HP.
17 gr of 4759 will push it to about 1600 fps from a rifle barrel and you will not find a more pleasant load to shoot.
