Also, In the Lyman 49th Edition:

IMR-4064  Starting - 35.5 gr = 1910 fps
IMR-4064  MAX      - 39.5 gr = 2120 fps (39,000 CUP)

In the Hornady 9th Edition:

IMR-4064  Starting - 29.3 gr = 1600 fps
IMR-4064  MAX      - 34.4 gr = 1900 fps

As you can see...  Loads vary from manual to manual. 

For what it's worth, you can take pretty much anything Para says to the bank!  My earlier post is more about replicating the original Krag load.  If that is what you want to do, then as I said before... 40.0 grains of 4350 and you're good to go.
