R 22 and Cauterucio 144.5 gr GTB

I have not had a chance yet to find the best loads. My components consist of R 22 powder, Fed and Win primers, Win 284 bulk and Norma 6.5/284 brass, several hundred Cauterucio 144.5, 100 each SMK 142 and Hornady Amax 140's.
The inside neck dimension of the chamber is .2990. Bbl is 8.75" twist.
I have not fired this rifle for several years. I originally set this up for NRA long range, but now I want to try F class. Have never fired F class, and am looking for the F class matches in Wash D.C.area. I will try Quantico, but where else is F class in the East?
Any help with loads? On word of mouth info I was using 55 gr R22 with the Caut. Now I can see on this web, that was too hot. Worked a little better with SMK.
What is good powder wt for the Caut,144.5) and the SMK 142 and 107?
This is the best web site so far for F class info, any others?
