I'm getting very good accuracy with 51 grains of IMR 4350 and 100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. This load gives me a chronographed muzzle velocity of 3167 fps out of a 24" barrel.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

I hessitate to say Target loads because I am sure the Speer Bullets I use are not really target projectiles.

I load 56 grains of IMR 4831 with  speer 10 Grain SPBT bullet. Good on paper deadly on Game.

I have had pretty good luck with the sierra 100gr HPBT using IMR 4064 at about 3000 fps with loadings of 40.8 grs. Works for me, hope this helps
