123 Lapua Scenar, 123 Sierra MK, 120 Berger, 130 Berger.
Some guys are shooting custom Cauterucios which come in a variety of weights in the 120-130gr range.
For short-range the 100gr Sierra Varmint bullets are cheap and VERY accurate.
Other folks have been experimenting with the 139 Scenar, 140 Amax, 142 SMK, but I think the case works best with 110-130gr bullets.
The new 130gr Berger VLD has a claimed BC of 0.595, item 264130V. Berger says a 10-twist will work, but we'd probably be conservative and go with a 1:9.5.

Hi Jeff, long time, no see...except that pic in the Varmint Hunter Mag. 
The heavies will do an honest 2850 in a normal rifle with the right powder according to some that have been testing.
IMO, the 130 berger or 123 Scfenar/SMK will be THE bullet for this case for LR, if you can't get the fps with the heavies.
