I'd use a 20 grain spout. I gave up on all the hoopla on concerning T7 grains out of a spout compared to FFFG of real BP regardless of manufacturer. IIRC Hodgdon loading data used to say that to equal a particular load of real BP, you should reduce the T7 load by 15%.

Here's is a link to the the Hodgdon T7 & Pyrodex data:
