What loads for 22BR with heavy bullets 75-80gr

Planning on have a new barrel made for next season and was looking for load ideas to start finding supplies. Looking for load data for 75gr to 80gr bullets in an 8 twist.
 
My go to powders for many years have been AA2015 and IMR8208. If one or both of these doesn't drive tacs you have a gun problem!!

I have been shooting 28.8grn of Varget powder with the old 75grn A-Max bullets in two different 22BR rifles. Both shoot very well.
 
I put one together 2yrs ago with the same thing in mind and have great results with IMR 8208XBR pushing the Sierra 77gr TMK bullet. I’m getting a velocity of 3052fps with great accuracy.
 
I got some 75gr Hornady HPBT's and some Sierra 77gr HPBT's in large amounts. Just recently latched onto some VV N135 powder and some H4895, still no varget or 8208xbr

What load did you settle on for the 77smk's with the 8208 powder? Sierra's old data used medium speed powders and their new data is all slow powders like RL-16 or IMR4451
