What's a good powder for a medium strength 454 loads with 250-300gr bullets? Or would I be better off with warm 45 colt loads? Just don't see the need for full house 454 loads for whitetails.

I use AA # 9 in my Freedom Arms with Hornady 250 XTPs in the 1450 fps range. That's about as fast as you want to send that bullet through the forcing cone.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

I like 4227 in both 454 and 480 Ruger for less than full power loads.
