I would trust @Mark A Ouellette recommended loads!!! He is a fellow reloader I have great respect for!!!
 
Welcome to AH Dr Narendra Yadav!
 
I will run my Quick Load for you today and send to you. On AH, all fellow reloaders always say “reload at your own risk with our loads”. Yes we have a lot of experience and the thing I like about QL is it is very conservative in that it exaturates PSI which is a nice safety feature
 
Welcome to AH Dr Narendra Yadav
There is great number of good people here that can help!
 
Okay as committed, I have sent you a Private Message with the screen shot for Quick Load. Here is the topline for what I found using your IMR 4064 with 570 grain bullets in a 24 inch barrel length.
PMAX 40,611
83 Grains gives a PSI of 40,232 which was as close as I could come to the PMAX
96.2% fill rate which means you would not have to use a filler.
I could only get 2004 FPS with your powder...I would have liked to get 2050 FPS but no can do.

Hope this helps. As stated before "use this reload information at your own risk."
