300 MP and 38-55 fixed ammunition

I have read JLouis's writings on the use of the above powder in 38-55 but now realize it is with breech seated rounds only. I am not getting the accuracy at 200 yds/ms i hoped for with 4759 or 4227 especially in a normally very accurate lever gun (apologies) with the usual 240-264 grain cast bullets.  Any recommendations for 300MP fixed ammo?  i am trying the >1200 to 1300 or so fps range/ Thanks

You will find that from 8.5 to 10 grs of unique is the preferred load in a lever gun with light bullets.
I also breech seat (C Sharps Hi Wall) using 17.2 gr 300MP behind a 310 gr NOE bullet.
