What do you plan on shooting with it; long range target, deer, varmint? It makes quite a diffeence. For long range target I'd recommend the Sierra 70gr. HPBT bullet pushed along by WW748 38.1grs. I get good accuracy with this combo at 3300fps. For varmint I'd switch to the Noslet 70gr. Bal. Tip and IMR4064 39.0grs. That one will zip along at 3400fps. and also very accurate. Both of these loads group at slightly under .5" (5 at 100yds) in my Savage 110 sporter. For deer I've been using the Hornady 95gr. SST in front of IMR4831 42.0grs. It's a pretty hard hitting load for deer. Of course this is in my rifle, the results in your may differ somewhgat. Best wishes.
