You might try load data from AA Powders using 5744 although using jacketed bullets I think most recommend staying above about a 2000 fps threshold.
There are some loads out there for BlueDOt powder. Try the James Calhoon site.

Lyman manuals list cast bullet loads for some slower speeds. Plus the old IMR manuals listed loads for many of their slower powders, for some slowwww speeds.
I'll look them up when I'm in my shop.

Hornet loads

IMR lists for a 45gr jacketed:
11.5 gr - 4831 ---1085fps
11.5 gr - 4350 ---1280fps
both shown as compressed loads.

Lyman lists for a 49gr cast:
2.5 gr Green Dot ---1230fps
5.6 gr 4759 ---1266fps
6.5gr RL7 ---1159fps

and several more, if you do not have the above powders.

Try IMR SR4759. 8 grains with a 50gr bullet gives around 1500fps. 12.0gr of AA2200 and a 45 or 50gr SP bullet gave 2100fps with single digit SD and nickel-sized 5 shot groups at 100yds in a Cooper M38.
