For 85 grain partitions used imr 4895 with 75 grain hollow points with good groups but almost out an can't find any more using them in a Remington 700 22 in barrel
 
I don't know what you have?

H4895, Varget, IMR 4064, Alliant RL-15, VIHT N-140, Accurate 4350, Win 760, Hybrid 100V, IMR 4831, VIHT N-160, Alliant RL-19, Win Supreme 780 and likely several others. You can go to the powder manufacturer's websites for the mentioned powders and likely get the load data for those powders.

I have been seeing both IMR 4895 and Hodgeon H4895 turning up as well as IMR 4064 at my local Cabela's and other local retailers.

No shortage or 6rem powders here either.
Beyond what was mentioned, H 414 & WW 748 can work well too.

Study up from a source or three on what works, get some, load & test.

You'll be fine.
 
I get extreme accuracy out of H380 and Rel 19, but I use most of the others as well. In my Ruger M77 old model (~1973) I get best accuracty with 70-90 gr bullets; 100/105s are good enough for deer hunting, but for long range varmints I use 70s. Rel 19 will put a 80 gr Hornady into a witnessed and repeatable 1/2"-3/4" at 200 yds. That's hard to improve on.
 
I'm real partial to RL22, but have had excellent results with numerous other powders also, IMR-4350, RL19, H4831, pick your poison.
