I asked The Studio at CMoG Facility Manager about your crucible. He answered: "As far as borosilicate crucibles, I believe it is ok to use high alumina crucibles for borosilicate temperatures and glass. It tends to be right around the temperature we charge some soda lime glasses at."

Try contacting Eugene Glass School to ask about their experiences melting borosilicate glass:

Also, try searching the internet for boro furnace / borosilicate furnace. For example, I found this site:
