My 46th edition Lyman guide lists some but the cast loads (249 gr) use fast pistol powder (9.5 gr max)so they may be position sensitive.  Does not mention fillers.  Some of the powders chosen for the jacketed bullet (255 gr.) look like they might come closer to filling up the case.

If this data is what you are looking for let me know and I'll try to get it to you.

Update......

I just looked in Ken Waters "Pet Loads" and there is a slew of loads for this caliber.
