Directly from the Hodgdon website:
286 GR. NOS PART IMR 4064 .366" 3.225" 49.0 2015 35,700 CUP 54.5C 2218 46,100 CUP
My loads are a tad different but that's to be expected. Follow the book load above and start with load minimum and work your way up watching for signs of pressure.
Best.
I generally stick to no higher than middle of the road velicities in my 9.3x62. So far I've loaded 232, 250, 270, 285, 286 and 300 gr. bullets. IMR 4064 will work for all of them. I keep the .285-300 gr. in the high 2200's to low 2300's. The 232's I load to about 2500. That isn't hot for that cartridge. But it's a heavy load when dealing with recoil on my end. My rifle is a little light as well. It's a Husqvarna 647, and it weighs just under 7 lbs.
In case you want to try some different powders, Here's Lapuas reloading data for the 9.3:

Nosler gives some loads with Alliant powders as well:
