I have no experience with your caliber but if that is the only powder you have available then it won't hurt to give it a try.
I would suggest that the starting load of 2206 be the equivalent weight of maximum loads in the ADI reloading guide. Increase your load if feasible until you get 5 to 10% compression and use a good crimp and with magnum primers. You shouldn't get any pressure signs but if you do then back off.
Unfortunately you will get a substantial muzzle flash and blast out of your 16" barrel.
I have tried similar loading strategies in my 444 Marlin and 9.3x74R with good and safe results.
Remember that you will be doing this at your own risk with no recourse to anybody in the event of a serious mishap.
