Running shots w/a SA revolver, cool! Good job there.
When I was in college, having read alot of Keith, I used 22/2400/240 in an M29 4", but the blast, recoil, fireball in evenings were all atrocious.
Years into my 44 stint, I realized 10.5 gr of Unique was all I needed, 1050 fps cut thru a deer like hot butter.
Later, used 9 - 9.5 of Universal Clays for similar performance, but better metering and cleaner bbl.
Can't ask much more than enough speed to put a hole in and out of an animal, 900-1100mv is plenty w/o side effects you get loading to the hilt.
Shane I would happily hunt deer w/a load in the 950-1050 range for easy on the wrist shooting. My 1050 load was entirely comfortable in all regards.
