    I doubt you would get enough powder in the case to get any decent velocity with 2213sc and most likely get gas blow back because of low pressure most of the start loads have a pressure around 50,000 psi
    with max around 59.000 psi to 60,000 psi, If the pressure is to low the case does not seal the chamber and you get smokey cases and a face full of gas not very nice, and the velocity drops off,
    I work with cast bullets and get this quite a lot when trying to get the balance between pressure and velocity,
    Max load with 2209 is compressed at 40.0 grs with a 140 Amax and 2213sc has more bulk so you will not get enough pressure to do your self and good, better off to try powders in the same burning range as 2209
    Hogdgon Hybrid 100V seems to give the highest velocity with 140-142 bullets.
    Cheers.
