I use 20 grains of 4198 and 120 Sierra for C,P,and T. It is a light and accurate load at about 2100 fps.
For Rams I use 27 grains of 8208 and a 139 Lapua. This is a hot load at around 2400 fps. Start lower and work up. If I use 28 grains I get loose primer pockets! I found the 139 Lapua to be more reliable on rams than the 142 MK.
