Some loads below but using 115 bullets and H4831 same as ADI AR2213-SC, this will give a starting load but l would try and seat 0.010" to 0.015" into the lands reduce the below loads by 5% as you are seating the land so l would start at 42.5 grains with AR2213-SC
H4831 – 44.5 gr. – BR2 – S115 – jump 0.015” – 3011 – 28 – 10 -- 0.982
H4831 – 45.0 gr. – BR2 – S115 – jump 0.015” – 3036 – 15 – 06 -- 0.251
H4831 – 45.5 gr. – BR2 – S115 – jump 0.015” – 3049 – 20 – 10 -- 0.766
Cheers

Barry, My info is similar to Ken's but with an XC case and using 115gn projectile. My max load is 44.5 using AR2213sc this gets me around 3000fps. So Ken's recommendation to start at 42.5 is good.
