Accurate loads for 165 grain in .300 Winchester Magnum..

Gentlemen,
I'm looking for a an accurate powder and bullet combination for a .300 Winchester Magnum. Looking for a bullet weight in the neighborhood of 165 to 168 grains and as fast and flat as is practical and accurate. Will be used exclusively for light bodied deer at most. Thank you, Matt.
