Default .41 Mag light loads

I need suggestions on reloading .41 mag., medium loads only (850-1,000fps).
The gun is a 4" Model 57 no dash.
I'm currently using 9.3 grains of HS6 under a 215 gr. LSWC (Missouri Bullet Co.) and regular (not magnum) large primers, usually Federal.

The HS6 is accurate and meters well on my Lee Pro Auto-Disk, but I get a fair amount of unburned powder and smoke.

I stopped using Unique because it was too dirty - even the new stuff is dirtier than I like. I now use Herco in its place.

Powders available to me are Clays Universal, Herco, Titegroup, Green Dot, and a few others. I can't find 2400 anywhere, and I won't use Bullseye in magnum cases.

If anyone has a wonderful, fantastic medium .41 load, I'd like to hear it, but the above mentioned powders are what I'd like to use.

Spherical/ball powders like H110 don't work well with my set up.

Thanks in advance!
