    I use 3.0 gr Bullseye under a 158 cast SWC. Low recoil and accurate. Bullseye and the .38 go together like biscuits and gravy.

    The problem with the Hodgden data is it lists .308" diameter bullets, and most Mosin's use a .312. I don't know what kind of pressure differences there might be.

    While the 45 Colt is capable of killing both deer and pigs, I wouldn't use that one, it's far too pretty. My luck, I'd bounce it off the treestand or drag it across a rock or something.

    I use 6.0 gr BE under 16-18 BH 158 gr cast bullets. As was already stated, bullet diameter is probably the culprit behind your leading, although 20 is a bit hard.
