In Handloading by Wm. C. Davis, Jr., published by NRA Press in 1980, Davis said, "...4759 is possibly the most useful reduced-load powder for rifles. It combines all the desirable characteristics of easy ignition, relatively clean burning, and low bulk density. It is single-base powder, of porous-base type which facilitates quick, uniform ignition in reduced loads."
Davis LOVED 4759 and went on for 5 or 6 paragraphs extolling it's history and merits.
Thing is, Davis's concept of "reduced load", regardless of bullet weight, toped out below 2000 fps. Great for plinking, but probably too slow for a cross-the-board humane deer hunting load.
I'm with rcmodel. H4895 is a much better powder choice for a Youth Load - something 10-20% under a full power load.
If you want to proceed with a hunting load using 4759, go for a maximum load, and be cognizant of it's M1 Carbine level of performance.
4759 would be ideal for training your young hunter to shoot (and for small game, too). Let'em get in plenty of trigger time with an accurate low recoiling round. Just switch to something more powerful for hunting.
