I checked:
6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbooks
Hornady Reloading Manual
Sierra 6.5 Grendel Reloading Data
Nosler Reloading online
Barnes 6.5 Grendel reloading Data
I could not find any published data for IMR 4064. Burn rate shows it within range of common 6.5 Grendel powders. The problem you run into with it is that its a long extruded powder that has a hard time metering and fitting into small cases.

It might be worth exploring in 6.5 Grendel though since its slower-burning that 8208XBR, very close to AA2520.
You might not be able to get enough in the case to produce velocities youre looking for though.
That Quick Load data will be meaningless since QL never tested IMR 4064 in a pressure test breach, so its entirely theoretical with zero real world data points to reference.
