.303 150gr cast bullet load?

Thanks for all the input guys, i know there are a lot of different opinions and thats great, but my original question was does anyone know of any load data for a 150gr Gas Checked cast bullet using IMR 4198:)
Thats all I really wanted to know, this is the powder Ive got that I used with my 200gr cast bullets.
Thanks again!

Usually the book recommends different powders for cast than jacketed. And when powders do overlap, the recommended max load for cast is usually comparable to the min load for jacketed. Sure you could use the data... But I'm just saying you d be wasting components

Actually my lyman shows that jacketed starting load is about cast middle load with same powder :)

I can scan it for you.

Lol I don't care. My lyman book only lists pistol powders and 4198 (80s edition).

Yomamma is right. You should just use jacketed data. Weight is weight and that's good enough :)
 
Unless you are seeking MV's higher than 2000 fps, none of the powders that are best for cast will even be listed for jacketed. 2400, SR4759 and the 4198's rule for cast in the 303 for 1500-2000 fps in my opinion, with Unique and Red Dot better for below 1500 fps.
