I'm assuming you want loads for long range varmint shooting.
Two bullets that I have used with good success are the 80 grain Sierra Blitz and the 87 grain Hornady VMAX. You can shoot the 80 grain to 3600 fps and the 87 to 3500 fps. The Sierra Blitz is a great varmint bullet.
I hesitate to give exact loads because your rifle will most likely give different results, but the two powders that worked best for me were H4350 and V V N560.
H4350 - 45 to 48 grains
N560 - 47 to 50 grains
I also tried some loads with H4831 and R22 but they didn't shoot near as well.
Use a chronograph and work up. Good Luck
