I did lots of research on what to load in mine. I ended up using Lil Gun. I came up with a load of 15.5 under a 50 grain V Max. This load was a little to warm. I ended up backing it off to 15.0.

My gun was a Stainless Fluted Lite Varmint.

I got mine to coyote hunt with, and ended up shooting matches with it.
I was shooting it in Lite Tactical Division in our Club's Sniper & Multi Range F Class Matches. It was a little lite on sudds to go to 600 yards however. I kept getting mauled my 223/80 grain rigs, and my brothers 204 AR15. I just broke it down, and rebarreled it to a 223 with 1/7 Brux M24 contour barrel.

I have a Remington 700 fluted SS 22" barrel, almost 500 rounds of fired brass, 200 or 300 rounds of new Remington brass, dies, BDL magazine box & follower that I will be moving, if anyone is interested in getting into the Fire Ball business.
