308 win load data

150 grain Hornady interlock/spire point with IMR 4064, how many grains of 4064 and COAL?
I have two manuals and have searched but have come up empty. I have 100 of these bullets but not willing to take chances. Thanks,Nick

That data will work.
Start low, work up, etc.
My experience - have had good results with that bullet seated to the cannelure, and would expect something in the 44.5 to 46 gr charge weight to work well.
