Stalking or target? I use N 140 and Sierra pro hunter in mine,very accurate and drops deer in their tracks. N 140 will be good for target too. I used to use varget but can't get hold of it now. It was good with nosler partition 165 grain bullets

Buy a decent reloading manual and follow their published loads.
I use a 168gn Sierra hpbt in front of about 42gns of Varget in a Lapua case lit by a Federal 210 primer which gives me around 2650fps in my 22" barrelled rifle.

N140 under a 155 SMK, RWS or Lapua brass, works for me
Thanks for looking

N140 with sierra matchking palma works great on targets.
