Basically, within reason of course, you can use jacketed bullet data for lead bullets. Lead bullets will produce lower pressures than jacketed is why.

BUT, great big but, top level jacketed loads will over work the lead bullets, cause leading and can even make the bullets go thru targets sideways.

So use caution, use loads that keep velocity within the window of acceptable velocity for the lead bullet you are using and you should be mostly OK.

No I will NOT give you any load recommendations.
