I started at 57 and worked up to 62 grains. Fed215m in Nosler brass, I have since changed to Peterson brass. I have a long throat meant to shoot heavies, I shoot the 175eldx and 175 EH out of mine at just shy of 3000 fps, RL26 always gave me a flier.
 
Different bullet, but I worked up to 62 of RL26 with a 160 Speer BT. 61.5 was 1/2" and an even 3k from a 24". I don't have pressure measuring equipment, but 3k from a 24" is pretty sporty in my mind. I have pretty much settled on RL23 for 160s; 1/2" accurate, 2930fps, temperature stable, and consistent.
