 I have a number of cast bullet info for bullets weighing 150 206 and 247 gr.
 
The velocity for the lightest bullet start at 1400+ ft/sec
                               206 gr                    1190
                               247 gr                    1100
All from a 22" barrel

Yes I do, all are manual loads, which weight would interest you and what powders do you have or thinking of getting?

The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook lists loads for the 358 Win. You'll need a Lyman "M" die to expand the case neck for cast bullets.
I use cast bullets in my 357 Herrett Contender for cheap practice loads that don't beat you or the gun up.
