Since the OP is specifically asking about W748 - not other powders or other cartridges - I’ll oblige. Under Nosler 150 BTip bullets, 42.0 grains of my lot of W748 was safe with no stickiness opening the action. Velocity was 2580 fps, not breathtaking but it was accurate, killed deer very well and shot plenty flat enough.
With 180 RN CoreLokts I used 40.0 grains of W748 for 2416 fps. Decent accuracy but never shot game with it.
