Anyone having luck loading the 64gr Nosler Bonded 224 out of a 223?

A friend gave me a couple of boxes of these bullets. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a load in a bolt gun?
Mine is a Tikka T3 stainless.
I have I4064 (about 19 lbs of it), 335, varget, BLC-2 available.
 
I use that bullet in both 222 and 223, with Benchmark. I imagine the powders you have on hand will work as well.
 
I plan on testing that bullet later this year in two rifles. I'd say Benchmark or Varget would be a couple fine choices.
 
My daughter took a deer with that bullet. I loaded them up with 25.0 gr of Varget. They grouped around 3/4 MOA out of an AR.
 
I WILL BE DOING LOAD DEVELOPMENT THIS FALL WITH THAT BULLET FOR A YOUTH DEER HUNT
 
You won't be disappointed. My daughter took hers on the juvenile hunt and it was a clean pass through at 50 yards.
