as long as the velocity is around or under say 2200 can I use the same data as for FMJ and powder data with cast, water quenched bullets ?
And or maybe reduce the grains by a couple.

YES, and rarely a is a NO the answer. In some situations, some powders are so pressure sensitive, and some cases are so large, that a boolit too small in diameter could cause some ugly waves. Use normal sized cases when doing this for 100 percent satisfaction in all situations. Be leary of 60 grain cases or bigger. Get advise from the board. ... felix

Thanks, the round I am working with, (learning reloading and casting) is 7.62X54 for the mosin nagant.

I'd reduce down to about the 2000 fps level, and go up. The 2200 range may be at the limit of accuracy with the round, so the lower level would give you an idea of accuracy to be expected.
