I load 34 grains of H4895 with 60 grain Nosler Partition,getting good groups with this load. Plan on using this on my antelope doe hunt next week.Rifle is a Ruger American all weather topped with a Nikon 4-12x40

I think that little Partition should work just fine. I have seen quite a few antelope, deer, and even a couple elk shot with a 22-250 with a bullet not even close to the awesome Partition, and it killed them just fine. Not good for the elk obviously, but it should work on the antelope and deer if you want.

I loaded some 63gr Sierra up the other day that I am going to try on a Wt doe this year, so it will be interesting to see the results.

Just back from Wyoming two weeks ago, same bullet loaded with 33 gr imr 3031.
63 semi points worked fantastic, killed 4 and didn't go ten feet.
 
That should do the trick Rooster. Im amazed at how well the little round kills deer. Any I have taken with the 22/250 and 60g Partitions have been in the open and relaxed from a good rest. Never lost one.
