I have a pile of RL19 and would like to use it in my 375 h&h,I can find loads in the swift and nosler books.

Can I use the load data from those books and use a different bullet of the same weight?

I have used different than bullet manufacturer manuals to obtain data, just remember you need to start over with load developement as different components will behave differently. Also don't use monometal data for loading cup-and-core bullets and vise-versa.

Sure you can, just be sure to watch O.A.L. in case you're using a solid copper bullet like barnes as they
tend to be much longer and start at the low end (minimum) and work your way up watching for signs of excessive
pressure.
