Trail boss is best but something fast like 2205 or AP70 works well too. Find the cheapest and lightest bullets for them too as even a 1-8" twist in grendel wont stabilize a 140gr or 123gr at sub speeds. Loading the heavier bullets backwards will shoot better but they are expensive plinkers

Yes, if stuck... buy cheap milsurp 7.72x39 FMJs, pull the bullets and discard the powder, charge with a subsonic/sneeze load of trail boss and reseat bullet in reverse.

Yet don't count on them expanding as well as @shooternz's cast bullets, so just for possums or rabbits.
