Try 20gr of Accurate 5744
Note that case volume is adjusted to my experience w/ 5744 under a 425grLFNGC.

This case volume apparently acts to lower pressure/velocity calculations slightly, as associated
w/ a lead bullet and matching my Oehler35 actual speed measurements.

Using a jacketed Interlock and reducing case volume to QuickLoad's default 79.0gr H₂O
would give us ~2,000 psi more pressure and muzzle velocity of 1,070 -- still subsonic.)

This likely brackets the actual result.
