I have the last 2 editions of Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. But keep finding my self looking for data for rifles a bit out of the normal, is there any others out there that would help?

You can use H4895 and the 60% rule, and you can use starting loads for jacketed bullets of the same weight.

rcbs put out a book some time back.
and accurate has some data in their manual as well.
I find myself manipulating jacketed loads more and more to get what I want.
look at those loads that are slow velocity and low pressure, those are the ones that will work best for our purposes.
they are also cut-off points for powder speed versus case volume so you can work towards faster powders from those tested points.
