In my Remington XP-100, 40gr & 50gr Sierra BlitzKings and/or 40gr & 50gr Hornady V-MAX have worked well using IMR 4227. Although I haven't done any serious testing, these combo's look very promising so far. I assume however, you're loading for the cartridge in a rifle and I see the loads for it differ somewhat compared to single shot handgun loads.
todbartell has one I believe and he could probably help you out.

Any of you people getting better accuracy from hand loads than factory fodder?

Again, I just have the Remington XP-100 and I've really only started playing with loads for it. Actually, I've never shot anything out of it other than handloads. I've never really looked but I've never 'noticed' factory loads for sale.

I'll have to see if I can pick up a box, if nothing else other than to be a combination of associated sales 'goodies' to go with it, should I decide to sell it.I've got the Remington zipper case that the XP-100 came with.
