44-40 in the 1892 Winchester

I'm looking for a 1600 fps load for this gun. That puts it (with 215 grain bullets) above Saami specs, but well within the strength of the 1892.
Anyone?

1892 win is very strong action . the 94 win is a copy of it.. most load data you find for 44-40 is for the 66 and 73 win which are weak action but I load my 44-40 to match 44 mags in my vaquero's and 92 rossi with no problem for 10 yrs
