I believe my Ruger No. 1's (factory heavy barrel) preferred load is Reloader 22 and Speer 120 gr. BTSP bullets with Winchester primers and Remington cases. I'll have to get out to my workshop to get the actual load data though and with the way the weather has been that might just be a couple of days before I do that!

Correction: Speer 120gr BTSP and a charge of 52gr of Reloader 22 yields a .470" 5 shot group at 100 yards with a muzzle velocity of 2910 fps (average for a 20 shot string) out of the 24" barrel.
