is the bullet to use and I do believe Federal had a load using it. EVEN if it is the reduced recoil load (no I didn't look it up before posting) it would be dang good maybe even better if it is the reduced recoil load.

PS - I knew Federal had at least one such load. Remington has a reduced recoil load but my limited experience with this bullet would indicate that it might not be the best choice but would work depending on what you're defending against (of course).
