I shot a 165gr with IMR3031. But I've been using Varget in my other rifles in place of the 3031. So that'd be a good powder to. Just make sure you use a round nose bullet. I've heard a spire point can set off the other rounds in the tube. Never seen it happen but it's better safe than sorry. If you're wanting a good hunting round round can use a nosler partition. Just only put one in the chamber and either load the tube with round nose or put only one other spirit point inn. I chose to load the tube with round nose. They shot close enough together that there wasn't enough difference to matter. Good luck. Have fun and be safe.
