It's really up to you to try them and make your own assessment of their potential. If there is one thing that I have learned over the decades of reloading and shooting various rifles, it's that even same makes of rifles may not shoot the same loads well.

I shoot H414, which is the same powder as Win760, in my lighter 100gr loads in 6.5x55 in my custom M98, but that barrel has a 1in9" twist too.
You just need to try them and see.

www.hodgdon.com has a bunch of loads for the 85gr weight to try.
