357 Magnum - 180g Lead lever action load ?

I've picked up some 180g lead truncated cone bullets for a bit of longer range (100 meter) target shooting with my Marlin 1894c lever action rifle. I've heard these heavier bullets perform better at this sort of range, but load data for 180g lead bullets seems hard to find.

Can anyone recommend a manual or webpage with data for this sort of load ? Most of the powder companies seem to skip 180g loads, or only have 180g 'brand name' jacketed heads listed.
