You’ll just have to find what barrel likes. Mine is a 14 twst Hart. It loves the 58vmax and 2230 powder.
A great place to start would be Bart's 68 gr. Ultras (FB) or Avengers (BT) as well.
Any of the many custom 62-68 grain bullets out there is a safe bet but Berger columns are a good production quality bullet. Most all of these will shoot great, assuming the bbl likes them. In all likelihood, it will but there are rare cases where a given bbl and bullet just won't play nice together. The 70 gr Sierra Blitzking is a great varmint bullet. They've always shot well for me and their 70 grain HPBT Matchking is pretty dang good too, again, for a production bullet.
Pick a custom maker and give them a call. They can probably put you on the right path.

58gr vmax kinda short .050 fb probably about 1/2 way in the neck when seated?
AA2230 l was eye balling that powder
I have some of them bullets from Bart got a whiles back ultras 66gr and Watson 66gr don’t see it listed anymore only 68gr is the lightest
It meters very good too
I was also checking out those Berger column 64/68gr as well but in the end gonna come down to what my barrel likes along with powder selection hopefully bullet powder combo will have many to choose from

Not really. My chamber has 0 freebore i use a split neck case to find the lands and seat about ,005” off. The split neck lets you see exactly where the bullet is. In the zeo freebore chamber a 58vmax at the rifling, the boattail begins to taper about .075” above neck/shoulder junction. Even with .050” fb (quite abit less than 1/16”), the bullet is still supported by about 2/3 of the neck when kissing the lands. Plenty.

Split neck case is very handy
What are you going to do with the rifle. Short range, long range, varmints?
Short range 100yrds
AA2200 how’s about this guy it’s been swirling in my head behind 68gr
1:14 I have likes the 58 VMax with IMR 4227, 65 VMAX with CFE 223, and 70 Varmegeddons with AR Comp. all of them plenty accurate for vermin.
No VV powder locally for a whiles
H335 Benchmark AA2200 LT32 these are what I have access too

My thoughts too, here's a example from a club match last weekend.
Rem 700 budget build, Barts Avengers, n135, fed 205 primer

60g Sierra HP will shock ALL that try them, H322, AA2230, and H335.
The lot# of 58g V max that I got has a pressure ring of .2435, and my reamer cuts the chamber at .2435....we have a problem!
