Here are a few loads for my FN Mauser with a 21" 1-8 twist Lilja barrel. It was chambered with a custom reamer with a shorter than average throat, so velocities will probably be a little slower in some rifles:

Sierra HPBT 85 Varget/45.0 3337
Nosler 100 Partition RL-15/42.0 3140
Nosler 120 Ballistic Tip RL-19/47.0 2947
" VV N560/48.0 2938
" Norma204/45.0 2972
Barnes 120 TSX RL-19/47.0 2950
Cutting Edge 120 Norma 204/45.0 2943
Nosler 129 ABLR Magnum/52.5 2856
Hornady 129 Spire Pt. RL-19/46.0 2920
Nosler 130 AccuBond Norma URP/43.0 2867
Cutting Edge 130 Magnum/52.5 2863
Speer 140 Hot-Cor H4831/47.0 2664
Nosler 140 Partition Magnum/50.0 2680
Norma 156 Oryx H4831/45.0 2591

All of these shot into an inch or less. The most accurate, believe it or not, is the 85 Sierra load.
