Someone once said, "Don't use a powder faster than IMR 4895 or slower than IMR 4064" and so far I haven't found too many folks who disagree with that statement, although some folks have been getting good results with Reloader 15 (as in the current M118LR) and Varget.

But both Re15 and Varget are very similar to 4064. If you keep your powder charge sane and velocities modest (2650 with a 168gr BTHP or 2550 with 173~175 bullet) you should be just fine.
