    I am looking for published sources, or at least a safe starting point. The problem is that I haven't been able to find published data for CFE BLK powder and Lead Hard Cast bullets. It would sure be helpful if you had published data you could point me to. I'll buy a book if it has the data.

    Hodgdon recommended the Lyman 50th. for cast data but Lyman specifically told me that the book doesn't include data for CFE BLK and that I should contact Hodgdon (enter infinite loop here).

    Thanks.

    That is the issue with reloading sometimes. There is 0 data for what you want to do.
    In that case there are only 2 options:
    Get a different powder and bullet combination that is listed OR 9If you are a long time reloader) work up loads on your own with lots of combined data and research to support the theories you have for loading that combo.
    I have had to do it quite a few times, and have come up with some pretty awesome loads, and others just failed miserably
