I had good experience with Hornady round nose bullets (170 gr I think) over 38 gr of IMR 4895. This is an underpowered load, but was pretty accurate.

Currently my fav load is:
150 Gr. Hornady SP Interlock #3232
40.0 Gr. Varget
CCI #200 Large Rifle Primer
This is a med-high strength load with good accuracy.

I have tried full power loads pushing a 220 gr Hornady round, but my shoulder couldn't take it.
