A loading manual?  Alliant's website even?

Lyman lists a number of loads with their 300-grain SWC bullet.  Starting load with H110 is 17.7 grains, with H4227 is 17.0 grains and with IMR4227 (you didn't say which you had ::) ) is 16.5 grains.  No Unique loads are listed.

The Cast Performance website has loading information for their LBT bullets. Check them out.

You can safely use jacketed bullet load data with cast bullets. Your pressures will be a bit lower and velocity a bit faster. If you think by using data specific to the bullet it's gonna tell you the velocity in your gun you're sadly mistaken for that you'll have to get a chrono.

Thanks guys. No i am not worried about velocities and i already no that you can't go buy the books. I just wanted to no were i can find some load data. my older loading books don't list anything for cast over 240s.
