I have had the same rifle as you for about 2 years now. The load that I settled on is:
Remington 7.5 small bench rest   Benchmark   24.8gr   55gr Sierra Gameking   OAL: 2.28

I have tried a bunch of other stuff but that load gives consistently good accuracy, .3" typically. The OAL was key in my rifle, made a huge difference.

I have the same gun also and settled on the Hornady 60grn V-max behind 26grns of Varget in a WW commercial case and CCI primers.  This load will consistantly shoot under .5" out of my gun.   I seat the bullet so it will just barely fit in the magazine
