QuickLoad thinks Rl-17 will get you the best velocity.

I'd have to know your case capacity. It thinks that Barnes data is rather "optimistic", shall we say. It agrees with their fill ratio and is within about 50fps of their speed but puts the pressure at 72,000psi. Oops.

I'd use a max of 59.0gr

Other top choices (based on fps and burn %) would be Win748, BL-C2, H4895, IMR 3031, IMR 4320.
