Has anyone here had any experience with this combination?
Curiosity has got the better of me and I've got a bunch of IMR 4064 sitting here and some 196 gr woodleighs on the way for this springs black bear hunt. Rifle is a husky 640 with the commercial FN 98 action in a bell & carlson medalist stock with timney trigger.

Ive had good luck with the 200 partition and hornady's 195 spire point with reloader 15 and IMR 4895 powders in this rifle however I'd like to use up some of this 4064 and 2500 fps is the benchmark. Any insight would be appreciated
thanks
 
Ken Water's pet loads indicate a range of 47.0-49.0 grains IMR 4064 under a 175 grain Sierra spitzer and 46.0-50.0 grains with the 196 grain Norma RNSP. Approach these loads with caution.
