I've shot this bullet with Re-7 and had good success. I'm getting a little low on that powder and seem to have a bunch of ball powder (AA2460 & W748) I wouldn't mind using.

Accuracy? Any need for a magnum primer? (Expecting somewhere around 90% fill ratio in case.)

I have found 748 and 4064 to be pretty close in burning rate and in my Winchester 94 relined to .35/.30-30 I have been shooting a nominal compressed caseful of 4061, about 34 grains with 200-grain and 31 grains with 260-grain bullets with no issues.

With a 200-grain bullet I really don't think you could get enough 748 into the case to get into trouble with a modern rifle. I use Winchester WLR primers in mine. With open sights on my Winchester 94 I get 3-4" five-shot groups at 100 yards, which is typical of the rifle type.

I can't speak for 2460. Have not used it.

2460 is a little slower than 335 and a tick faster than 4895.
I'd use 335's data if I could find nothing else, and if none of that, then I'd start with 3031 data the 2460 should be fairly close to it in speed and function. [a call to accurate could also be useful they have tons of data not published in their manuals]

I have used a LOT of 2230 in my 30-30's with 150-190gr boolits and have not had any problems with it as long as I used regular brisance primers.

I'd just find more reloader 7, hard to beat. :bigsmyl2:
