Handloads with 300 gr Hornady HP/XTP jacketed hollow pt. 2.5 cc dipper(?33 gr) of imr 4227 or 46 gr CFE BLK. Large rifle primers.
I have some 200 gr Hornady monoflex monolithics with a large hollow point filled with resin. I've only shot one with this barrel....pulverized a small pumpkin offhand at 100 yds. I'm saving these for shooting groups after I do some more break-in/clean shots.
After 7 rounds or so copper fouling seems to be cleaning easier, but I'm also using more Sweets 7.62 on the patches and leaving a wet patch in the muzzle for an hour or so.
I recall seeing a Picatinny rail scope base that had a .020 taper which might be a better choice than the shimmed Leupold base. Also waiting for some 275 gr Barnes spire point monolithics to become available. I have a line on a trade for some large rifle magnum primers after the first of the year.
