They seem to need small rifle magnum powders. N110 is a cut powder and seems to be easier to light. My Speer reloading handbook Number 14 lists a maximum charge of N110 as 15.0 grains ahead of a 158 grain jacketed boolit in a rifle like mine. The boolit I am using is Lee's 158 grain flat point plain bae. In my alloy, COWW, it comes out at 160 grains. One coat of Smoke's John Deere Green and unsized. I have gotten safely to 14.5 grains N110 with no pressure signs. Will try a bit more. I likee the accuracy with a peep sight and a 1/16" brass bead.
My burning rate chart lists N110 right next to Lil Gun.
