Check out hodgons powder :tup: they have a online load data area that's free and has lots of great loads and info.

As far as practise powder and hunting powder. Use the same for both they all cost about the same :tup:

Those 87's are great for coyotes, but a bit over cooked for deer. I have had good success with Imr 4831 around 55-58grs.
