I found some old Hodgdon data for 180 & 220 gr bullets in a One Book/One Caliber for the 30-40 that I have. 31-34gr for the 180, 30-33 for the 200. Detonation, as in SEE shouldn't be a problem, if your rifle doesn't have a rough throat. 335 was a relatively fast ball powder, in between 3031 and 4895 in burn rate, faster than powders normally associated with SEE events. I have no personal experience with it though. I have found that my Krag prefers powders in this burn rate or faster, for best accuracy. Might have something to do with the muzzle pressure. Most accurate load I found with 168s uses 29.5gr of a powder that burns about 4198 speed. The lower muzzle pressure doesn't make as big a jet blast to add to recoil as 50gr of slow burning powder does.
