In a modern action for hand loads start at 2,950 fps for a 22". Deduct 35fps for each inch loss and I would be quite happy shooting a 120 grn Speer or Ballistic Tip at 2.8K from a 18" barrel at deer out to 300 yards or so.
Use a faster burning powder and you might even recover some of the velocity loss.
