What are you using? I currently have some Reloader 22 and IMR 4831. Both seem like reasonable choices for the caliber.

R700, 26" IBI Carbon 1:8.5 twist

Planned projectile: 166g A-Tip (target) and 150g TTSX ((hunting) I generally hunt from a blind, so I won't be hauling this long @$$ rifle up a tree, lol).
 
Berger 175 Elite Hunters seated 0.010" off the lands in Nosler .280 Ackley brass, backed by IMR 7977, and lit by a CCI 200 primer. Producing ragged-hole groups and MV averaging 2,713 FPS.
