In a departed Ruger 77 Mk II IMR 7828 ssc did very well with 140 gr PT's at around 2775 fps if I remember right. In my wife's Tikka IMR 4955 is showing promise with 140 gr PT's at just under 2700 fps. It shoots well but I still might tweak it a bit.
My Swede loads are put up in Lapua brass with the 140 NPT's, it's a half inch gun in good shooting conditions, built on an '09 DWM Mauser action with a #1 [or featherweight] contour Shilen at 25"s, the cartridge is so well mannered I can't help but like it.
I've yet to capture a bullet for studying on deer and pigs so far, a real penetrator.
