Default .22LR powder burn rate? Yes, Im bored

Yes, Im bored, yes Ive had a few Stellas, but no I’m NOT attempting to reload 22’s. Because it typically is not reloaded, there is no commercially published load data for it. Im curious what the burn rate equivalent would be in know retail powders. 22LR has a relatively small bore diameter and relatively high velocity. Im guessing it needs to burn a slower propellant to make this combo work in its current form? Would the burn rate be something in the midrange like Unique/CFE Pistol or something slower like 2400? Let me know your thoughts if you’d like.
