Chris's advice is exactly what I would do.
I play short scrape as well, and all my current reeds are 57.5-58. My wire is sitting around 7-8mm above the thread. It needs to be higher on a cor reed than an oboe reed (if you play on a wired oboe reed) - think proportions! I possibly rely on the wire a little more than I should, but I so far have had no response/tone/tuning issues. Wire on a short scrape cor reed can be your best friend for the opening of the tip!
And, having played on both a Howarth S20 and a Fox 510, I personally found that if I got the E (concert A) spot on, I had to work to keep other notes up to pitch. When making/adjusting your reeds, still work with fingered A as your reference, rather than a concert A.
Have fun! I'm not playing cor this semester and I miss it already... :(
