I have the Staghorn Magnum which I think is basically the same gun. Mine shoots powerbelts real well and shockwaves. It likes the 250 grain Shockwaves and 90 grains of Pyrodex RS. For powerbelts it like the 348 grain and the 245 grain powerbelts best. It hates the 295 for some strange reason. Maybe I need to lower the powder charge when I shoot them.

It also shoots conicals well, and the 250 grain XTP in a Harvester sabot. 90 grains of powder seems to be the magic spot in my rifles. That does not mean yours will be the same, but it might give you some idea of where to start.
