I plan on shooting them tomorrow

H4350 is the well known sweet spot powder for 260, 65CM 6.5x47 etc. don’t know a lot of guys, well any for that matter, that use 4064 in that platform. Doesn’t mean it can’t work and that’s part of the fun of reloading. Good luck to you and post up some pics if you find a sweet load.

I have worked up extremely accurate loads with 4064 in 30-06, 308, and 223. I’m thinking it may be a touch too fast to get optimum velocity in the CM.

My rifle is a Ruger VT with 28” barrel.
once you know the exact velocity, it can tell you where the accuracy node is, and provide valuable information which can be uploaded into ballistic programs to confirm long range shooting distances. Even a $99 chronograph is better than nothing.
If money is tight, 2-3 people can split the costs of a chronograph and share it at the range
FYI - Strelok Pro app - plug in the velocity and it tells you where to aim, holdover, clicks, etc...
