I have H-Varget, IMR 4350, IMR 3031, IMR 4064, RL 19, RL 22, RL 25.

I am going for about 3000fps with my Sierra Pro Hunter 120gr load.

Anyone have some powder charge for these powders for this velocity?

I have 53gr of Varget data for ~3000fps.

Trying to see which is most accurate at this velocity.
 
As a semi-educated guess, I'd suspect you'd have to use a powder on the faster end of the spectrum to get decent results with that small a bullet and large of a case. It would surprise me if RL-22 and 25 would burn well. That's a lot of powder to push a relatively light bullet. I'd call Hodgden and find out about Varget.

Edit to add; Looking in Ken Water's Pet Loads

bullet grains powder velocity case primer O.A.L.

120 Hornady 60.0 IMR-4064 3,411 fps FC F210 3.22 (near max, very accurate)

120 Sierra 65.0 IMR-4350 3,300 fps R-P CCI250 3.28

120 Sierra 68.0 IMR-4831 3,386 fps FC CCI250 3.28 (absolute max)
