155gr Scenar in M1A

Planning to delve into service rifle next match, and this is the bullet I have. Anyone load this for a NM M1a, and with what results? I would like to know some typical loads and bullet seating depth. I never messed with these before, and, as the rifle is new, I've only ever loaded a little "break-in" ammo for it ( about 60rnds of fmj). Planning on using N-135 or one or the other 4895 powders, if I can get my hands on some. Other powder recommendations would be appreciated, as well.
thanks
 
Not sure about the Scenar but, I run 42.5gr of IMR-4895 in LC case seated to mag length w/ the 155 A-Max.

I purchased 1000 155 Sierra Plama quite few years back to try in my M1A, but haven't tried them yet. With Sierra 168 HPBT I have had excellent results with IMR4895, IMR3031, AA2460, AA2520 and Win 748.
