I found an article by Brian Pierce in Rifle 199
He lists a 310 grn Keith cast bullet with 25 grns of H110 and a cci 350 primer. In a 20" 94 he got 1820 fps.
He said pressure should be in the 32,000 cup level. He thought higher pressures didn't warrant the return on vel.
Hope this helps.

I have used the 300 gr. Hornady XTP with 22.0/Win. 296 on several deer. They were all one-shot kills, and all under 50 yards. The load generally shoots right around 1" at 100 yards from my Marlin 1894, and velocity is 1500 fps.
