I've looked into all the Manuals I have and found H335 listed for jacketed bullets only.
All the powder listed for a cast bullet were pistol type powder or the IMR SR types.

I don't think I'd reduce it since you're already working with a lighter bullet, the Lee 2nd lists 57gr compressed start to 59gr compressed H335 for a 250gr bullet which means jacketed.
