32-40 smokeless loads

well having the 1899B in hand and having found dies,brass,and 170gr bullets from Hornady I'm almost ready to build a few.

I searched and found some archived posts that yielded some data,as well as a few other sources,but would like some more input.

built in 1904 the ol Sav says:Savage Smokeless Steel High Pressure Powder right on the barrel.I know the action can take some pressure,so I don't think that matching 32ws speeds/pressures should be too big a concern.I'll start light of course and work up.

Anyone load for,or have data for the 32-40 going around 2000fps?
Smokeless of course!
