+1 on the warning about the bullet not having a Canilure and MUST be taper crimped. MFG website states that. I would suggest you keep looking, but if you are dead set on using that bullet you should call them before ordering to ask for their recommended loads as it is a plated bullet, and entirely different animal from a FMJ if you are just starting out. With a little more research, you may find that you should be using LEAD loading data (or 10% less than FMJ) for the plated bullets, which would be less than your listed charge.
