Team, my Sako TRG 22 has arrived. Will be using for long range varminting and up too 1,000 metre matches.

I will be using 165 grain sierra game kings on game and 168 grain match bullets for competition. I expect to be using the rifle in a wide range of ambient temperatures so want powder that will be pretty consistent. Also, since we are at the end of a long supply chain here it will have to be pretty easy to find. Any suggestions of what to start with?

Thanks ever so much.
