I can't offer you any Guicci loads. My standard deer load is 60.2 grains of H4350 and a Hornady Interlok. This year, I am going to be using the same load with a Sierra Game King bullet. This gives you close to 3000 fps. I was testing some handgun loads the other day and fired one of my deer rounds through the screens; it was 2968, so that velocity is pretty close. The deer I have shot with this load looked like they were hit by lightning.
If you are looking for "new" powders, Hodgdon began making their extreme powders a few years ago. Same burn rate but it is supposed to maintain that burn rate over a much wider range of ambient temperatures.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,

From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
