Again, I don't know how fast I was pushing them, as this was a couple years back when I first started loading and didn't have a chronograph (or any rifle powder other than 4064 to load in my 223 lol). As for today, I use H335 for my 50 & 55 grain loads. I've also heard good things about benchmark, but I haven't used it myself.
If you want to use 4064 because it's cheap for you and you want to crank out some plinking ammo, I'd say go for it. All of the 55 grain stuff I loaded worked well enough to hit an 8" plate at 200 yards.
