Go to the Hodgdon\IMR\Winchester Reloading Web Site http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp  You will get a bunch of reloading information for a bunch of powders and a bunch of different bullets.

Just click in your info and click the right buttons and you will get a chart of more info that you want.

without even looking, IMR 4064 and the 30-06 makes a good mix.

I've used that very combination for a couple of years and it kills whitetails like lightning and is very accurate in my rifle.

My 700 BDL liked 50.0 grains of IMR 4064 behind a 150 grain jacketed bullet. That was my "go to" load for years.  Since then I've switched to IMR 4350 because it works better in the 243 and also works good in the '06.
Thanks,
