Default Berry's Plated for .38+p / .357 mag using power pistol?

My brother has offered up his press for a very reasonable price to me with the contingent he may want to buy it back in 4-6 months. So I guess I'll do a little reloading again. With the press came the last of his power pistol powder which he was using for 9mm and .45acp. Wondering if anyone has used this stuff for 38+p loads or .357 loads. Berry's are on sale at Cabelas so I picked up 250 158gr THP for $22

Looking at the Alliant website there shows a 158gr LSWC using 6 grains of powder for a little over 1000 fps for a 38+P load.

158gr gold dot using 8.5 grains of powder showing 1078 fps on .357 mag

I don't have any experience using plated bullets and I keep reading everything from just use lead data to go on the low side of jacketed data.

Any and all help and info here is appreciated.
