You can use 16.1 gr. of 2400 under a 250-255 gr. hard cast SWC bullet for around 900 to 1000 fps and the load is very plesant to shoot. I use such a load as my 'all around load' for my FA-97, great accuracy. It should work well on anything except BIG bears that might want to chew on you if you didn't put them down quickly.
