Like any deviation in loading data components, try backing off a couple of grains from the powder charge specified, and check for pressure concerns, if none, work load level back up in small stages.

Legally I cant give you an advise .... You could run into over pressure even so you reduce the powder that even create bigger problem by igniting the powder on bigger surface area and burning faster running the over pressure .
