22-250 55gr Blitzkings 34.5gr Varget
300WM 180 Speer Spitzers 75.5gr RL25
Both good for well under 1 inch groups, but both far from max loads. I could go faster, but these were the best accuracy by a fair margin.

So far I have only settled on loads for two calibres, .243 win and .270 win.
For the .243 I have two loads:
70gr Nosler BT over 42gr of IMR 4064, CCI LR primers.
100gr Partitions over 36gr of IMR 4064, CCI LR primers.
Both of these loads will do an inch or less @100yds.
For the .270 I use 54gr of IMR 4350 with either a 130gr Sierra game king, or 130gr Nosler Partition. The Sierras hit about 1/2" higher than the Noslers @100yds and both are 1" loads.
I have some older 160gr Partitions that were given to me I'm curious to try out. I've loaded a test batch with 47gr to 51gr of IMR 4350 as a 'ladder test' workup, but have yet to try them. If they will do 1-1/2" or so they should be a good moose/bear load.

I can't honestly say this is my best load, because it's just my first load (so far):
.308 Win:
44.5grs IMR4895, Sierra Palma Match 155 HPBT, in Imperial cases with CCI BR-2 primers.
Tested this load yesterday, and put 4 out of 5 in a less than 2 in group at 300 yds. Hard to be more specific with the group size, as I was shooting a gong, not paper.
