85gr 6.5x55 swed. recipies?

I have a great load for the 140 gr bullets, I shoot comp with it, shoots tight as you can hold it. never tried the 85s though would be interested in a load if you find one.
 
anything in the 4895-4064 burn rate should yield the highest velocities. Any of those powders in my 260 (which has very very similar case capacity to the 6.5x55) will push the 85 grainers over 3350 f/s
 
85gr Sierra hp., 44.5 gr IMR 4064, win lr primer,2.9296" oal. 3300fps through my chrony and they will keep within 0.75" all day through my m-96.
 
Turns out i have no 4064 :( lots of 3031 im gonna start out with 40.7 gr w/ the 85gr hollowpoint serrias and work my way up serria book says this should be accu. load but im gonn try the 4064 next time i get down to the gun shop!

i got a box loaded rained all good damn day hopfully sunday will be better:D
i get a pic and post groups if it worth my while cross you fingers!
