Seeking .300 Rook loads

I’ve been using unique, usually 4.1 grains with an 80 gr bullet at about 1280 fps. That’s about on target with the 50 yard sight, but I get a pretty extreme spread in velocity. Looking for suggestions for a different powder.

I have read others say to start lighter than what Greenwood states.  I guess his loads can be hot for some rifles.
