I would use H4350 and work up to about 2200/2250fps. Use a BHN 14.0 to 14.5 alloy and you can go right on up to a full power load.

the best news about paper patched boolits? Alloy composition does not seem to matter. What does is getting the patched boolit to or just under bore diameter. That and not crimping; which testing shows cuts the paper at the crimp point. This is in my 38-90 and 45-70 Shiloh Sharps.
