I think I will start at 8 grains and do a couple increments up to 10 grains and see how that works for me.

Start with 7 gr w231 and work up to maybe 8, 9. That is a fast burner and I would be very cautious loading 11.2 gr. in that. You may get peak pressure and not a fun plinking load. My books say you will be approaching 40K above 11 gr.
