I hope this is a simple question for experienced boolit guys. I Have an RCBS 180-SIL mold. I would like to load this boolit for max velocity for use in my 357 Contender and 357 Ruger Bisley. Can I use the same load data for this gas checked boolit as I would for a 180 jacketed bullet? I am interested in using either 296 or IMR 4227. Thanks for thoughts!

yep, pressures should be a bit lower with the cast.
