Always consult reliable manuals for proven data.

That said, any lead bullet can be used with jacketed bullet data for the same weight bullet without trouble (as long as the seating depth isn't drastically different between the two), however maximum loads listed for lead bullets will often be a little over the max for jacketed because lead slides through the bore so much easier and creates less pressure, so the charges need to be elevated some to get back to the same pressure level as provided by jacketed.
