The Lyman manual shows a start load of 38.7 grains of H4198 which should put you at 1594 fps.  The max for H4198 is 44 grains @ 1788 fps.  

You might also check out www.loadyourown.com and www.handloads.com.

Good luck with the 45-70.  I've only been loading for it for a couple of months, but it sure is a fun one to play with.
