I've had good results with 286s cast from the NOE mold using both Trailboss and 5744, tumble lubed with alox, at velocities of 1200-1500. Interestingly, with a gascheck they shoot great but without one shoot horribly, to the point of tumbling. I briefly experimented with the same bullets powder coated as mentioned above. I drove them to 2400 with no leading issues but accuracy wasn't great. I didn't mess with them beyond the first range session however. I think if you wanted a bit more velocity, say around 2200 H4895 would work well.
Edit to add: The above bullets were all WW
