Stevens 44 28-30 load?

I have shot my Model 47 Stevens (44 action) for years. I use original cases, plus Bertram, which are OK after they are annealed. Also RMC and now some Ballard Rifle Company cases.  Whichever cases I use, the point of impact is about the same. 

My most accurate load, breech seated, is a 142 grain Hoch nose-pour bullet, Emmert's lube, pistol primer and 11.6 grains of SR-4759.  7 mm cork wad in mouth of case.

Would someone with Quickloads please tell me the computed pressure?

Now that 4759 is no more, I need to find a substitute.  Leaning toward 4227 because I have 3 cans on hand.  Any suggestions will be welcome.

Unfortunately QL doesn't have 4759 but, I ran it with 4227 and 11.6 gr, BSed .03 ahead of the case, gives 8300 psi and 1318 fps. Thats based on a 38.6 gr water capacity of the case and a 28" barrel. Check yours and if it's different, I'll run it with your case capacity and bbl length. It's also based on a .285 groove dia. A larger groove will lower vel and press.

4759 would probably give a little higher pressure as, it just a little bit faster burning in most cases.
