Mine liked Aguila Superextra aka Fiocchi HV for hunting, Winchester black packet match, and PMC black packet match. Would touch 0.5" for groups for all three at 100 meters.

I'm not sure I would care if I hit the target or not whther it was 100m or 1000m. Just to be able to hold and shoot one of these gorgeous pieces of kit would be enough. That is a rifle of beauty.....
