Use load data for the closest similar bullet that you find. Your not always going to find data for exact bullets.
Aim small, miss small!
By the way have you cast with either of those molds yet?
I'm thinking not because you weren't asking how to get them out of the mold!
Get some boolits and then use load data for the as cast weight. Those molds have been out of production for awhile!
Actually they come out of the molds quite well. I have no problem casting them. I have shot the 429303 from my super blackhawk very high velocity ~ 1400 fps but the accuracy was not good I need to work on the load. I want to see how they shoot out of my lever gun. I know I cannot load them in the magazine but will try single shot.
I figured that I would try that if I could not find someone who had loaded them up.
Thanks for the information
