If it were me, I would use nothing faster than Unique and really prefer SR4756 for this kind of load. I have run the maximum load from the manual posted and it is a handful from my M625JM. 1100fps is not out of the question. Of course, that load can be reduced too.
I mentioned Tightgroup because I have some on hand. I am only looking for low velocity plinking loads (850fps or so). l am thinking of using 5 gr of Unique with a 255 LSWC bullet. Judging from the Speer # 8 data posted this load should work well.
