400gr Barnes Banded solids and 400gr TSX's with enough H4350 to get to 2600fps if you want them to go that fast. I do and have. Recoil is a bit heavy but the load works well. Federal 215's and Norma Brass. In most rifles these two bullets will hit same POI or close enough. For Bears and Moose same same except 350TSX's at 2700. IIRC This took a bit over 100grains of H4350 in my rifle.

For a practice and varmint shooting load I like 40grs of AA5744 under a Barnes 300gr TSX. Great load for using your rifle a lot and retaining your retina's.
