I'm presently using Combined Technologies Ballistic Silvertip 168 grain in front of Winchester brass charged with 44 grains of Varget and Winchester primers. 1/2" groups at 100 yards are the norm. I have also used it on bullets as light as 110grains and as heavy as 180 grain with no problem at all. Stay with the book minimums and work up, until you find the charge your rifle likes to swallow, and you should be OK. I use my rifle exclusively for hunting and don't get much opportunity for really long shots (mostly under 100 yards) but I am sure what Jim says is right as rain about distance. The Varget powder is fast becoming a favorite of mine because of the versatility and performance in quite a few calibers.
