Ramshot powders

[Trapper 30-30]

I have some Ramshot Magnum powder on hand. When I bought the powder from my local gun shop, the guy said it replaces Ramshot's Big Game powder, and use the info as if using Big Game.
I load for the 7-08 using either the 140 BT or 140 Remington PSPCL.
My daughter is using my Ruger Compact and I'm using a Tikka T3. I've had the Tikka cut to 18.5 inches and the load I'm using in both guns uses IMR 4895. I would like to try the Magnum powder, any load info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Just my thoughts but I think Magnum would be too slow especially in the short barrel.

here's their load guide: http://www.ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ramshot_handgun_rifle.pdf

I do not know why he told you it replaced Big Game it's still available on their web site. I use both but only use Big Game for 7mm-08. There is data on there web site for loads but non listed for Magnum in 7mm-08.
