No doubt it sucks for getting much in the way of variety these days. FWIW, 4064was developed as a competition powder for 30-06. It actually works better in .308. It doesn't meter all that well and it is a bit temp sensitive, but when you weigh every load and get it in the case, it performs pretty consistently with good velocities.
If you have a bunch of H4895 Extreme, I would use that over 4064 just for the metering. But, it's a little fast for the case/neck size but no real issue there except you don't fill the case as full. Consistency is exceptional and I've gotten great results from it. As mentioned, it is less temp sensitive than 4064. I'm seeing 4064 all over the place here and have only seen H4895X a couple times.
Generally speaking 4064 is as versatile as H4895. It just never got the popularity that 4895 did.
