Work up to 76 gr RL22 with a 180 gr bullet and Fed215 primer. The load will vary a bit depending on bullet,throat and barrel.Vel should be in the 3100 fps range.You are about maxed out with the 180 gr from the 300 Win Mag at that velocity,regardless of powder.Still plenty enough for about anything.
A couple gr more with a 165 should give about 3200 fps.Again work up.....There may be better things out there for knocking a big buck on his butt but I don't know what they are...with a tough 165 this will work on elk as well.
Also,use H4350 with the 130 gr TTSX.The Barnes manual max load (82.5 H4350)gave the 130 XLC(the discontinued blue bullet)almost 3700 from a 26" M70,and great accuracy to 500 yards.The charge may be slightly lower with the 130TTSX;not sure so again, work up and chronograph as you go.I would expect about 3550-3600 from a 24" tube.YMMV.
Good luck.
