I think alot depends on the intended use of the gun, long range shooting, moderate range deer hunting, big game(elk/moose).
For deer or hogs at moderate ranges I would go with chuck and shoot a light tsx or something like a 150 grain partition, accubond, or sirroco.
For long range It would be somethign in excess of 160 grains.
For big critters it would be a little hevier tsx, partitions or acubond.

IMR 4831 shoots the best in my Sendero with 140 Berger VLDs. I tried IMR 7828, RE-22, RE-25, and although all those were faster on the chrono, they weren't as accurate.

I wore one out at about 15,000 rounds..160 grain I used between
60 and 63 grain of IMR 4350, and 120 grains 60 grains same powder
and it was a fun load no recoil and about 3K...IMR 4831 is also
a good powder..Years ago some were shooting 160 grain Sierras at
well over 3K w/up to 66 grains of IMR 4350..but that is hot and you will def. get some pressure and brass problems..Don
