Jim,

I have the following loads saved off as I came across them on the forum:

WAD: SG-16
PRIMER: Win 209

FPS: 1119
PSI: 6,228

HULL: Cheddite 2 1/2"
SHOT: 7/8 oz Bismuth
WAD: SG16 wad
PRIMER: CCI 209 primer

Please be advised that I have not personally tested any of these loads. Again, just some things I came across on the forum and thought were interesting so I saved. A search of the forum may turn up some more extensive results for you. Best of luck.
