In my 1991 vintage Ruger M77 tang safety, I find the following recipe works consistently and accurately in all weather conditions:

41 grains Varget
Hornady 162 grain ELD Match
neck-sized brass
I have to measure the OAL on my dummy round, but it's about 3-4mm over standard OAL.

~2650 fps

In terms of factory ammo, nothing works better than the S&B 173 grain SPCE. I am having a hard time finding it up here, but I stocked up on the aforementioned 7mm Hornady ELD Match so I am good for while.

If you don't like where you are, move. You are not a tree.
