That's very interesting about the 4064. I have had very good results with 4064 in 30/30, 223, 308Win, and 30/06. I have been hand weighing each charge to stay uniform and if I don't have to weigh every charge, that would just make the sky a little bit bluer for me.

In the 30/30 with the Hornady 170gr FP I was using 28.0gr of 4064 and if I recall correctly they were a little over 1900 fps and shot very well, but not quite as good of results as I had with H-335 with the Horn. 170's, which I used 29.5gr of H-335 for 2016 fps and this load was doing about 1-3/4" at 100 yds with peep sights! (rested). Of course you want to work up a load for your rifle but I suggest 335 as a great place to start, and Hornaday 170's.
