... as a MAX load. (The Hodgdon site lists both Min & Max, so you/the OP has a range to choose from)

I really suggest Lyman 49th... it will at least give you a range of powders. I recommend AA5744 for moderate velocities in the 1,400fps range, and any one of several .375 Flat Points bullets weighing 200-255gr .
