Anyone have reloading data for Precision Cast bullets made in Lebanon?   Right now I'm going to be trying out the 155 SWC and 180 grain FP in .40.  I'm planning on using Hodgdon Titegroup but if you've got any info for another common powder I can pick that up too.  I tried calling and emailing them but got no response so far.

Or do I need really precise info?  Can I go off of what other 155 grain and 180 grain cast lead bullets would use in published literature, since it's going to be probably exactly the same since lead alloy is going to be the same size given a constant diameter and weight?

get a manual or two, they will have load data for lead bullets.
fyi, lead alloy is not all the same.

Yes you can use the published data for the same weight bullets.  

Just becareful of seating the bullets, check the overall length.  Make sure you use the same profile bullet info for OAL.  Such as if you are loading round nose, do not use a flat point info for OAL.


Remember always start with loads towards the low end and work up.
