Looking for Powder/Load Reccs for 16" FAL Shorty

I'm running IMR 4064 out of my other .308 semi, and am very happy with the results, but think I may need something which burns faster.

Here's a list of powders faster than IMR4064, in order of slowest to faster: N135, RL12, W748, AAC-2460, BLC2, H335, H4895, IMR4895, AAC2230, H322, N201, IMR3031, N134, RL7, 4198.

4895 is "the" 308 powder, so you might want to start there..
