Equal Caliber = Equal Recipes?

My grandfather is going to start reloading again with me because i shoot entirely too much and buying 357SIG is too expensive.
Anyways, he has a .357-.44 Bobcat Magnum chambered blackhawk. Ive been looking for recipes for power/grain and cant find many, however Ive found quite a few for the .357-44 Bain & Davis. Since they are essentially the same thin can i just use some of the recipes from that for his or is that not a good idea?

There are 5 loads listed on reloadersnest.com.
Here's one:
Speer JHP 125 gr. 18.4 grs. Blue Dot
Listed @ 1859 fps by a, I'm not kidding, "James Dean."

PS Before you dive in with this caliber, you might want to try to contact somebody through there first.

Good luck.

I saw the reloaders nest data but I was looking for more than that, especially if I can use AA#9 as thats what I'm going to use in the 357sig and the 40SW
