Good powder for 18.5 inch barrel?

I purchased a Remington Model 7 in .260 Remington. This is the older blued model with 18.5 inch barrel. I also just purchased a single stage kit to reload with. Checking the reloading manuals, it seems they all list velocities with 24 inch barrel. Does anyone have recommendations on which powder to use for 120 or 140 gr bullets on this rifle?

WW-748, IMR 4064, Ball(C)2, Varget. There's a few for starters.
