Use .357Mag data.  You'll run into serious issues with leading if you try to push them any harder.  Lil Gun isn't going to be a very good powder for it.  You'll want something faster.

Unless your bullets are gas checked I would for get loading them in the 357 max. I have run into sever problems with leading in the 357 mag. when pushing them hard.

For some good tips on loading and shooting cast bullets, you should talk to the guys in the Cast Bullet Discussion forum (http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/board,45.0.html) and Ask Veral Smith of LBT Q&A forum (http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/board,114.0.html).  If anyone can help get rid of leading issues they can.
