I haven't used it much in the past 15 years, but for a long time I used the 140 Hornady BTSP from a 24" M70 standard rifle. 58 grains of H4831 clocked 3020, with really fine accuracy. 58 of RL22 gave 3060 but the accuracy wasn't quite as good.
That particular Hornady bullet usually didn't come out of a deer looking like a magazine ad, but if it did stop in the animal it was unfailingly balled up under the hide on the far side of a very dead critter.
