    2206h would be the powder of choice, good burn rate for that length and that projectile weight is fine for a 1:7 twist.

    Quickload says you'd be better off considering Win 748 or CFE223 as the 2206H is a tad slow for best velocities - you might get to 2600 if you're lucky with an optimum powder
