Looking for loads, 80 & 82 gr Bergers in a .223

[Rust]

One of the projects is finished, a 1-8" twist .223 which means 80 gr bullets. Call it a mid range F/TR rifle.

So I'm looking for suggested loads, not just the normal Varget and RL-15 but has anyone tried H4895, IMR 4064 and stuff like that? I prefer single base stick powders for the main part because they misbehave more consistantly than double base ball powders when the loads start getting towards the hot end of the scale.

H4895 works well. Varget works well.
