Yeah, if you don't need every last bit of velocity, some rifles do shoot 200's better with a little less H4831. In fact I first started using H4831 and 200-grain Partitions back in the 1970's when the older-style Partitions still were "semi-spitzers" (round noses). If I recall correctly, they shot best with 58 grains for around 2575 from the old 1903 Springfield sporter I was shooting back then.
Accuracy was really good even from the less-than-perfect barrel from that old rifle, and the moderate velocity (and round nose) didn't matter at all because most of my elk hunting was being done in the really thick timber of northwestern Montana--where a long shot was 100 yards.
