I've also found out that I can go over the max load listed with 760 without pressure problems, and most of my loads are over max.

What shoots best in my rifle wasn't the question. Although I do appreciate your advice.
I was simply asking for experiences with different powders before I bought anything. There are so many options for 6mm now that I was trying to narrow it down a bit.

IMR4064 shot better than Varget for me. Haven't tried the powders you mentioned and also my load is currently with a 85gr Speer SP, but will probably be switched to the 85gr Sierra next time.
