69 grains of 1.5Fg Swiss will be good to 1K with most any 425+ grain bullet.

Don,
I use the Federal GM150M lg pistol primers with 1.5 Fg Swiss. The compression is minimal, maybe 0.050". I now shoot that load with cork and a lube wad with PP bullets.
When I shot gg bullets I used a Walters wad, cause the poly made the brass grow.
Keep on hav'n fun!

I've got about all that stuff except the poly wads, those things always sort of bothered me, got hit in the face with to many of them when sitting behind the line and watching with the wind blowing in our faces. Hoping to make a razzledazzle midrange and silloutte rifle out of this thing.
