Normally when looking for data for a particular powder your going to run into this type of issue. It is simply way to costly for each manufacturer to test all components simply for one powder or another. Usually like you see a specific company will test the best overall powders with their own components. Speer usually uses CCI primers, and Alliant powder, and Speer bullets only, as they are all in the same family of companies.

Lyman however is probably about the best for producing load data for a broad line of powders and bullets overall. Even if they don't list the one in particular your using they still list several powders for a like weighted bullet. As long as your starting with the START load generally unless your working with a solid or one of the all copper bullets your pretty much in the clear loading for 140gr bullets using 140gr bullet data.
