Powders of choice: N133, 8208, 322, 4198
Bullets: benchrest quality in 62, 65, 66, 68

There are so many variables to your question that its tough to nail down one load. What kind of rifle are you shooting? Twist in barrel? The standard BR loads that shooters use in their custom actioned BR rifles would be too hot in most factory guns. My suggestion is to pick a powder and a bullet and work the load up starting at the low end. The rifle will tell you where it wants to shoot. If your rifle is a true BR rifle, it wont take long to find that spot, or spots.

start at 27.5g of VV133, Lapua 220 Russain brass fireformed and neck turned, 65-68g bullet jammed .010" into rifling and adjust from there. The 700 is weaker and will get a tight bolt lift before a custom action most times, so start low and the rifle will tell you what it wants.

If you have some V133, between 29.2 and 29.5 grains of powder, and a 66-68 grain benchrest quality bullet should shoot about as well as anything you will find.

Modern manufactured of H322 may not give you the best results.

If that barrel is already shot out you may have to go for a new barrel.

Start out with a well cleaned barrel. Thoroughly clean every 15-25 rounds. The V133 powder also likes about 0.003" neck tension.

68 grain berger match with 29.0 grains on vittavorhi n133 found to be very accurate at 300 yards.

Just remember what Jerry Sharrett said about the 29.2g of Vit 133 with a tight grip on a 66/68gr bullet. Vit 133 seems to like a tight grip. All barrels are obvioulsy different but if there is a one line magic load answer to you question then this is proably it.
