You can keep looking cause a load is for a particular rifle. That someone worked up in a particular rifle. No one can give you an exact load and expect the same results. I am not being smart, but this should be know by anyone reloading ammo.

I don't know what chart you're looking at, but if it is a powder relative burning rate chart, it really doesn't let you convert from one powder to the another. One reason is that two powders' relative burning rates can SWAP PLACES depending on what round they are being used in, and the pressure levels to which they are loaded.

So to be safe, please refer to a loading table to determinre the actual starting loads for any powder & bullet combination.

For a load using IMR 4064 in that cartridge, I would recommend that you check the IMR Powder Co. website. It is likely that that new cartridge hasn't made it into everybody's loading manual yet.
