My Ruger Compact, with the 16.5 inch barrel, was rather finicky on loads. It's a 260, so I don't have any favorite loads to share with you, but I did find that IMR4064 worked best for me with the 100 gr bullets. I used R17 powder for the 120 gr bullets. That light little rifle with the whippy barrel was the most difficult rifle I've had to work up good grouping loads for. Be patient. You'll find a good load eventually. I suggest you try a relatively fast powder from the listed ones in the Lyman 49th. I don't have the book in front of me, but I'm guessing that they'll include 4064 or Varget or maybe Reloader 15.
