I had picked up a partial box of 64 Bergers at a store once. Tried both AA2520 and Varget. For me, limited testing,less than a full box), best result was with Varget. This was in a 9 twist like yours.

25 grains of Varget with the 69 gr. Sierra #1380,, most consistantly accurate bullet in my Savage 1-9), seated .020" off, Win. std. primers, chronograph velocity average 2880 fps.

25.0 gr of H4895 with 69 gr Nosler or Sierra HPBT. VERY accurate at 3000 fps.

I checked my notes so I could give you more info.
On the 64 Bergers, my AA2520 results were not good. Better was Varget@24, 205M, Win case, 2.25" COL which gave a group of .385" . Mild load, velocity was just 2800 in the 26" barrel. ES was pretty ugly though at 112. It may need to run higher in the pressure window to have more consistent velocities.
