Short Throat 257 Weatherby

Has anyone developed loads for a short throat 257 Wby? My rifle (custom barrel Win Pre-64 Md70) has a standard throat (i.e.25-06) that can handle a 120gr bullet. I have measured the chamber with a Sinclair Seating Depth gauge, so I can control how far the bullet is off the lands.

I was thinking as a starting load, 60grs. I7828 with the 120 gr. bullet 0.010" of the lands.

Any help would be appreciated.
