I have 115 gr flat point bullets and I'm using IMR4064 powder. What kind of load can I try. The idea is a varmint load.

  Starting load of 52 grains, do not exceed 55.

  MY 2 CENTS!, Light slugs and relatively slow burning powder are incompatible.
  
  As long as your got a lot of the bullets on hand and a bunch of the powder, have at it. You MIGHT? over time, with a lot of trial an error work up a accurate/safe load that is satisfactory.
  
  Personally I would put my time an effort in working up a load using powder with the burn rate of 3031/BLC2. Most powder manufacturers/suppliers have powder in this burn rate category.

  Reloader 15 worked for me in the 06 with lighter bullets.

  55gr N140 behind the 125gr NBT is well under moa in my box stock rifle. Try bumping that charge to maybe 56-57gr with the 115gr. The N140 and all vihtavouri powders are extremely clean burning too.
  
  why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
  Got Balistics?
