Hello. Well, I had good luck with a 250 gr XTP over 8 gr. Unique.
This is not all that hot and your Ruger could certainly take the hotter loadings than the Mountain Gun I'm using in this caliber. I estimate it at somewhere around 900 ft/sec. Got complete penetration and got the deer with one shot so it did the trick. It's very pleasent to shoot as well and it does group well.

Best.
