35/40 Maynard

I've shot many different light smokless loads in a variety of Maynards.  I want to start shooting a great 35/40 in excellent shape.  The mold I have for it drops a 256 gr bullet.  I can not find a reference book listing a safe light load for this combination.  Anyone else have any history and suggestions with this combination.  I have most powders, but 4759, 4198, and Unique have been favorites.

I'll look and see if I wrote down my 35-40 loads with 250g bullets.i just used 38-55 data with similar weight bullets if that helps.

Thanks.  Sounds logical.  Let me know what you used if it's not too much trouble, gives me some confidence to know it's been used.
