The 325gr FTX and about 130-135gr will wake you up.
IIRC FPS is almost 2100fps. Personally i don't shoot the big FTX much faster in my Savage. Im sure the deer won't mind but my shoulder is thankful.
Recoil is a bit less with certain loads. When using the faster recommended powders, you use far less powder. Some of the other slower powder weights are 60gr+ by weight or much higher. In my 45 i can achieve over 2400fps with as little as 39gr of powder. Normally i use around 56-63gr of a slower ones and get upto 2700fps+ Shooting a 200gr is a cream puff compared to a BH209 load at 2400fps+.
I would enjoy meeting you and Chet although the force will compel me to turn you to the dark side. Once you get a 45cal shooting sabotless with smokeless or even BH209, all else seems....lacking when you are just shooting for recreation.
Your guess about a 300gr bullet is probably very close. I get that much fps with 140gr sabotless with a 300gr in my 45cal.....actually i get a little more. Recoil is quite brisk even in a 11lb rifle.
