DefaultWichester model 70

I picked up Winchester model 70 built in 1957 the other day. 30-06 and nice. The stock has been refinished, so it takes a hit there, but I'll never sell it so, who cares? Now I normally don't ask a question like this, but for conversation sake, here goes: I want to shoot hornady 165 gr BTSP bullets, but I don't have any powders listed in the hornady book. So, what powders have worked best with this rifle/bullet combo for all of you? I've always liked IMR 4350, but I'm out of it at the moment. For conversation sake, I'll throw it out for everyone.

IMR4320 would work very well as will 4350.
