Patrone 88 Load

Does anyone have an accurate Patrone 88 load? I have a karabiner 88 that is a joy to look at and shoot, but I really dont have a good load for it. I shot my gewehr 88/05 load of a .321 bullet behind 36 gr. IMR 4895. But I would like to load a more original load for the Kar88. I have some Woodleigh .318 200gr round bullets. Also found a nice .318 die set which came in the mail today. But does anyone have a good load for this? I believe P/88 was at about 2000fps... but i’m not sure. So any advise is helpful. By the way, the only powder I have on hand is IMR 4895. I use it in all my rifles. I can get another, but would prefer to stick with that.
Thanks
