Suggestions on a load?

1B,

I am shooting a #1K1A in 35 Whelen. With 225's It does well with a powder grain weight in the mid/upper 50's with H4895 getting right around 2630fps.

These rifles have an extremely long throat and because of that I have found accuracy suffers with shorter bullets that cannot be seated close to the lands.
