Back when I shot the 160 gr. Nosler Partition, I seem to recall using H4831 at 56.5 grs., Rem brass for just under 2700 fps. It shot under an inch out of my 22 inch barrel Rem Mtn Rifle.
At that speed, that bullet still expands and kills very well at over 400 yds.
Whatever I work up, I always test my loads in as warm a temperature as I will use them at 5% over that. If they don't show me ejector marks or are in any way sticky upon extraction, they are OK. All book data is just a guide. So is Quick Load. I've seen Quick Load give loads that were so hot that the cases could hardly being extracted.
Re-22 might be faster during warm temps, but it has a poor rep for cold temps. I'd stick Hodgden or Ramshot powders. E
