The 760 is a ball powder and seemed to work better when I backed off the velocity. It is temp sensitive, so if you plan on shooting in hot weather back off two grains, of your normal load.
I have tried several but these two seemed to work best for me.
For Deer I have used 54.6 grains of 760 with Rem core-loct bullets. My friend shoots High Power Silhouette, and put 5 shots in one hole, while I could only get three. ( at one hundred yards) Its a medium load but works good, in my gun.
I have read and heard that Varget and RE19 are good, but they did not perform well, in my gun.

If I recall correctly W760 & H414 are essentially one and the same.
