Default RE: 777 powder FF vs FFF question

Cayugad, thank you for the reply.
I have another question to ask.
My first rifle was Remington 700ML, x4 Russian scope with ORW Leupold mounts. I tried to keep it simple and 250 grains Powerbelts pushed by 2 Pirodex 50 grain pellets did a nice job on three deer. The longest time I spent looking for the downed deer was less than 5 minutes.
The problem is that occasionally I had an opportunity to see a game pass 120 yards (up to 250) and at the same time I enjoy the still hunting in the hilly areas.
So I just got a new SS Omega (28” fluited bbl) and Trijicon 3x9 Accupoint with Warne Maxima rings
The question is:
-What would you recommend for bullets and loads for the hunt if I will be mostly still hunting with scope set to x3 and 60-80 yard shoots and occasional opportunities to take 120 to 190 yard shoots (not off hand of cause)?
