This is from the Barnes site and it does not copy well so try this . . . http://www.barnesbullets.com/files/2015/06/22-250Remington.pdf . . . and they did not mention either of your powders but 4064 is close to 4895 and 4320.
At 3800 fps I am sure the screaming as it passes down the bore could be heard in our neighbouring provinces!
 
Loaded for three 22/250's over the years. All varmint barrels. In all three H 380 was the best with 52-53 gr bullets.

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 62000 psi, or 427 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 103 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

4 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.

IMR 4064 load for my 22-250 ran 35.7gr, with 40 thou jump using 53gr TSX and using cci 250 mag primers. This is a hot load so work up and find your sweet spot. Varget would be another great choice.
 
Thanks for the info gentlemen. Probably trying to find a pound of Varget would be the best solution...but I have 8# jugs of both 4064 and 4350. I will use this coming winter to put a load together.
