Lyman cast book #3 shows Red Dot 7.0gr 1510fps max 9.5gr 1800fps, Unique 7.5gr 1525fps max 10.5gr 1865gr for 88gr boolit and for a 105gr boolit they show Red Dot 6.0gr 1335fps max 9.0gr 1665 fps, Unique 7.0gr 1420fps max 10.0gr 1745fps.
Hope that gives you a start!

A lot depends on whether the bullets are gas checked or not. I think Lyman's loads would be a a little too hot at their upper ends of the scale for the OP's plain based bullets. I loaded .250-3000 plinkers with an 85 grain plain based bullet and 5gr. Bullseye. I never chrono'ed them, but I got nice accuracy and zero leading with them. I then nudged it up to 6 grains Bullseye, and accuracy improved a bit but every now and then I get a trace of leading- but that could be the fault of poor alloy choice sometimes because for these I just cast with whatever scraps I have laying around. I'm too cheap to devote the "good stuff" to the purpose of busting empty beer cans!

Thanks for the load info. That load of 85 gr PB bullet over 5 gr Bullseye is what I am looking for. I will try it.
