For a reduced load, I loaded Speer 235gr bullets over 35 grains of H4227. I never chrono'ed the load, but they shot well and hit the same point of impact (at 100 yards) as my 300gr loads. Recoil is very light, compared to the full-bore 300grain loads. I think that would be a decent short-range (150 yards or less) deer load.
