Sometimes things work that shouldn't and vice versa. I have a 200-gn load for my .358 that I ran up above 2650 fps with RL7; a massive overload according to the books but I get round primers and virtually no primer pocket loosening over many reloads...
I'm not as experienced a reloader as some here but I have loaded for a dozen different rifles and many thousands of rounds... I try to do as some here are saying and look at the situation in it's totality- what the books, rifle, chrono, and brass are telling me. QL would be a welcome addition but I'm too cheap <g>.
Mule Deer has very interesting points on this stuff, saying essentially that velocity equals pressure. Importantly, he says that equation works both ways. Maybe he'll elucidate.
To the OP: one bullet to consider is the 180 Ballistic Tip. Given what you want to do it makes a lot of sense.
