The classic Bullseye match load is 4.0 grains of Bullseye powder and a 200 grain LSWC. 185 grain LSWCs and 4.5 grains of Bullseye are also popular as are 185 jacketed HPs and 4.5 grains.
I prefer a bit more zip for the long line targets with 200s and up the charge to 4.5 grains.
Red Dot sights are popular. The micro sights have the advantage of being a bit closer to the line of the bore. You want a 3 moa dot or smaller. The X-ring on the 50 yard target is slightly larger than 3 moa.
If you wish to shoot EIC matches, you will use irons. At a standard 2700 match, though, red dots dominate.
