I have been directed to Shooters Reference but I'm open to some suggestions using 4198 , 3031 and 4895. The owner of this rifle is a former guide in Montana in the early 1970's and then went to med school and was an emergency room doctor for year. He is now retired and thinks he wants to shoot Iowa deer with his Sharps.

What about using something like BH209 if he doesn’t wanna go full Blackpowder?
