I saw on a yank sight somebody was getting some pretty impressive results with Reloder 17 but I don't think I'm that invested yet ha ha.

Ran it through quickload, RL17 could work fine too but you will struggle more with case capacity, a lot of the impressive results could be out of FTR setup rifles with long Barrels and throats?
If you really want to push a 220gr fast in a hunting rifle I would just use a Magnum however I have shot deer with 180gr .308 at 2400 fps and works fine so if you can get anything around that speed I don't see why you can't use them
