Winchester 158gr sjhp

I bought some of these yesterday to load some 357. none of my manuals/data show loading info for this bullet. all I see is data for 158 gr jacketed bullet. I have some vN320 on the shelf. Anyone have experience here, help please.

none of my load data lists vn320 for 158gr lead bulllet, but of all things i think powders is relatively cheap. my loads for this bullet are min 13.9 max 15.3gr 2400 and 6.2-6.8 gr unique or perhaps 14.5 gr win296 these loads are listed in the Lee 2nd edition they have nothing to do with TFL.

The Lapua/Vihtavuori load data on their website shows starting at 6.2 gr for 1099 fps and max at 6.6 gr for 1160 with a 1.575" COAL.
