A 22" 6.5-06AI with a Scirocco II (B.C. .577) @ 3161fps with IMR7828SSC makes a pretty capable weapon. Mine also pushes 140g BT to 3075fps using H100V. I assume it would do the same with a 140g AccuBond.
Second choice would be a .280AI or .30-06.
That said, a good friend had one and I liked it a lot. 400 yards is easy with a 225g AB at about 2700fps.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
