I wouldn't worry about your load. A friend and his son borrowed my Ruger 77 30-06 for their first elk hunt a couple of years ago. I had sighted in the Leupold M8 6x with factory 165gr ammo, but only had a few shells on hand when they came to pick it up.

I told them they could pick up a box of any Winchester, Remington or Hornady 165gr ammo from the local Scheels and go hunting.

They each got their elk with 1 shot.

P.S. 57gr of IMR 4350 with a 165gr bullet is listed on Nosler's Load Data page as their "most accurate" load.
