albany slip glaze question

Years ago I used a nice albany slip glaze which I no longer have. It was
cone 9, ox, believe it had cornwall stone in it. It was basic, only 3-4
materials. I used the real albany slip.

I am now using this formula for a nice brown, but there is no red tone,
which I miss.
Cone 5/6: Albany substite from Laguna 80
Whiting 20
Bentonite 1
then the oxides, I use 6% rediron ox, and 5% rultile

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get more red into this.
Cornwall stone perhaps? I am now firing at 5/6.
Thank you.
Judy
