There was too much meat damage and I plan to tame that load down for this years hunt.

It's not the powder charge... it's the bullet construction...and placement that prevents excessive meat damage...
Also try a heavier bullet that holds at least
95% of it's original mass.
There are a number of places to hit the elk/deer/moose effectively without destroying meat...
Heart, lungs, upper 1/3 of the neck, head, lower 1/3 of the chest...and even between the hind legs about 10" below the anus... A
little messy, but it works and doesn't damage meat if you clean it out in a timely manner.
Meat damage is a "wive's tale"...
