Are you referring to the Hornady interlock soft points ? I started using them last year in my ml2. I'm using 44gr A5744 in a mmp short black sabot. Took 2 deer with them last season.

To start with I would treat it as a 250gr bullet load and adjust for sweet spot. 40gr of N110 would be a good starting point.

39-40gr of N110 will be very close to 44gr of 5744.

Thanks

IMO N110 is the best powder ever recommended for MLIIs as long as you stick to 250gr or lighter bullets and dont try to hotrod the loads. You can get very respectable speed with just 40gr of N110. You dont gain a huge amount more speed using more. Its extremely dependable and the cleanest powder i have ever shot. Its my go to powder in my NULA with a 225gr Barnes.

Old book load data was upto 43 or 44gr and a 300gr bullet but those loads can be really rough on sabots. Especially if shooting the 300gr. Since then Savage has lowered the max load and only recommends a 250gr bullet. Im pretty certain 39gr of N110 will give you pretty much the same speed as 44gr or 5744. I get right around 2300fps at 40gr shooting a 225gr bullet and 2200+ with a 250gr. You will get a little less in a MLII but not by a huge amount.
