Dromia will be the man to tell you

Powder - about 4 grains of any pistol powder, such as N310

As has been said here often, 4 gns of any fast pistol powder like Vihtavuori N310 under the standard 140 gn Lyman 266465 works well.

I prefer a slightly lighter boolit mainly shooting a 120gn version of the 266469 the 266455 125 gn loverin works well too if you have the mould.

The only mould I have is the Lyman 140grain 2660469. I will give that a go using wheel weights or I might just buy some boolits off some one I don't have a lot of time for casting these days.
