I use 4064 35-40 grains depending on how close I expect the shooting to be. I like the 20-inch barrels.

Tripple4;

I use 139 grain Hornady spire points.
I use 45.0 grains of AA MRP (3100 equiv)
Remington 9 1/2 primers
R-P Nickel plated brass
Rifle - Remington M-7, 18.5 inch barrel
I don't know the velocity, I just know it works for me.

W-W 760 has always worked for me. I have had success with IMR-4350 and 4064 as well. Those powders would be my first choice.
