I usually start with H4895 and a 100 gr. bullet. I've had very good luck with the 100 gr. speer and around 33.0-33.5gr. of 4895 for around 2800 fps. This is the load I use in my Savage 99. Since you have a bolt gun, you can load a little hotter if you want. My RSI will take 35.0 gr. with no issues. My current preferred load for my RSI is the Hornady 117 gr. RN with H4831, as it is a tack driver. If you want to drop down to 87gr. bullets for he dual purposes mentioned, I've had very good luck with the speer bullet over 35.0 gr. H4895 or 36.0 gr. RL15, or the Sierra 90 gr. HP over 34.5 gr. H4895. Any of these will do a little over 2900. Hope this helps,
