Decide what bullet you want to shoot then check their manual. If not listed then give them a call . If its cast  bullets check the Hodgdon site .I checked the guides i have none listed it .

 Lyman 49th Edition has 500 S&W, mostly jacketed bullets but there is one cast, 375 gr. #501680, in the handgun section, as well as the T/C Contender & Encore section.

Most of the time you can used the Jacketed data for cast bullets of the same weight , there are a few exceptions but not many , This is not true for using cast data for Jacketed bullets however .

The reason this works is that cast bullets cause less drag and therefore less pressure is built .

If I could only have one reloading manual, it would probably be the Lyman.  Fortunately, I have no such limitation.  Having more than 1 reloading manual is a good idea anyway.
