Powder choice might let you reach the desired velocity at lower than SAAMI pressure. That would help w/ this situation. It might or might not burn cleanly, just depends on how well it burns in a short case at 25k to 30k psi (Rex 3 or Solo 1250 powders would be good here, they are moderately-slow burning single base powders -- and both have been recently discontinued

SR-4756 maybe?
